Kenosha Makes a $950,000 Loan to Clean Up the American Brass/Outokumpu Copper Property
In October 2003, the City of Kenosha, Wisconsin loaned $950,000 to the Kenosha Department of Public Works to assist with cleanup of the American Brass/Outokumpu Copper property. This loan was made possible through a $1,000,000 EPA Brownfields Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) awarded to Kenosha in 2002. Cleanup of the 30-acre former brass manufacturing facility began in March 2002 with demolition of buildings on the property, followed by soil removal. Cleanup, which is ongoing, has addressed issues of VOC, metal and PAH contamination in the soil. The Kenosha Department of Public Works leveraged more than $5 million from private and state sources to clean up and redevelop the property. Redevelopment began on the western portion of the property in 2005. A Pick 'n Save grocery store with 86 employees and a PCF Bank with nine employees have been built on the site. Additional mixed-use development is underway and a school, which is slated to open in the Fall of 2008, is being built on the property.
