| Portland ME Makes $175,000 Loan to Clean Up Two Sites in the Bayside Area
|
| On August 25, 2003, the City of Portland Department of Planning and Development borrowed $175,000 from the Downtown Portland Corporation's Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund program, marking the first loan agreement under this program. The loan was made possible through grants awarded by EPA to the Downtown Portland Corporation, which capitalized the loan fund with $500,000. The loan will assist with cleanup costs for two sites in the Bayside area of Portland that are contaminated with arsenic and lead. The Bayside area, located between the tidal flat of Back Cove and the city's bustling downtown, has an almost one-hundred year history of heavy industrial use. Much of the area is taken up by a 6-acre rail yard constructed in 1920 which has been vacant for the last 20 years. The two sites, with a combined size of 0.85 acres, will be redeveloped into additional parking and an important extension to Chestnut Street that will later be occupied by businesses, homes, and apartments. This project is part of an overall Bayside redevelopment plan that took over two years of community and local government cooperation to create. The plan will transform Bayside into an attractive urban gateway and extension of the downtown business district. For further information about this loan or the Downtown Portland Corporation Brownfields Cleanup Revolving Loan Fund, contact the EPA Region 1 Brownfields Coordinator at (617) 918-1221.
