Thank you. From what I have read the entire town of Century is already designated a Brownfield and poised to take advantage of such programs. The old mill site has already been cleaned up to a point. I see this grant is to assess sites further and ENCOURAGE private owners to clean up their sites so that they can be redeveloped to help the entire town. I'm not sure but I would think some of the empty commercial properties that may have the leaking underground storage tanks from previous gas stations hinder their sale and possible redevelopment. One can go on the Escambia property appraiser interactive map and find the owners.Some of the old sites were passed on for $100 or so and sit there in ruin looking shabby. How do you plan to Encourage the clean up? I believe an owner may do better to try to work this out and not be surprised when someone finally compiles this info and turns it in to code enforcement or EPA. I know it must be hard when these actions affect real people that you know and love but I believe it is in the works through the proper channels. Good Work. Thank you.
