Today, the Council unanimously passed my resolution authorizing the City to pursue an additional $4 million from the U.S. EPA to expand our Brownsfields Cleanup efforts. This work is critical to the future of the 3rd district and I am thrilled at the strides we are continuing to make.

Two years ago today (August 4, 2023)—just three days into my first term—I convened a meeting to tackle Kansas City’s vacant lot crisis head-on. One of the biggest challenges we discussed was how to secure the resources needed to clean up these lots so they could finally be ready for new homes. Last Friday, exactly two years after I was sworn in, that vision became reality. The EPA awarded Kansas City $6 million to fund environmental remediation on the Housing Accelerator lots in the Washington Wheatley neighborhood. This investment will clear the way for construction while lowering costs for builders and, ultimately, for families buying these homes. By removing the expensive barrier of land cleanup, we’re making it possible to build quality, affordable housing faster—and turning empty lots into thriving neighborhoods. Now, I’m headed to the 2025 National Brownsfields Conference to build a robust network with subject matter experts and learn more about best practices for implementation in Kansas City.

Probably will get some kind of clean up help… (Brownsfields $$ or something)

Superfund is STILL taking in money but NEVER spends it on Superfunds The only one in operation is Brownsfields which they rarely use

You were right about the environmental liability, originally caused by Lockheed Martin, "But now-  Donald Trump's DB Pace LLC has applied for the state's Brownsfields Voluntary Cleanup Program." live5news.com/story/34282061…

Lucarty looked unfortunate to lose that Need to pay a visit to Brownsfields Park soon, what a ground 👌🏻

I am happy to let you know that last night the city council approved the Riverfront Commission's request for the purchase of playground equipment that will be placed at the Riverfront Park. As part of the Riverfront redevelopment of the former manufacturing sites along our riverfront. The Riverfront Park playground will be located on an area of 12,000sq. ft., and it will be a place for family's to enjoy the community's waterfront and to participate in recreation activities all year round. The playground's equipment will be purchased from NuToys Inc., and Kompan Inc., for a price of $490,000. The playground and its features will be ADA compliant and has activity's for ASD children as well. The funding for this playground is part of the $5.5 million approved by the city council for Riverfront redevelopment in the FY 2023-24 budget passed last April. The Riverfront Park playground, and the Plaza leading to the playground, is scheduled to be completed in early 2025 and will be the anchor that will spur further redevelopment efforts of the former National and Lawrence Bros., manufacturing sites by our redevelopment partners at Gorman and Company. #SterlingIL #communitydevelopment #Brownsfields #GormanandCompany

Would it bother anyone if @elonmusk got a usda grant, a usda loan, and spent it upgrading Brownsfields sewer system with intentions of capturing methane gas? Would you invest in that project?

Today we celebrated the opening of the Van Brodie Mill/Arlington Point project. This is a project that will breathe life back into a former Brownsfields site and allow even more of our community members to flourish in new, affordable housing that they can take pride in.

They receive about an $800K tax break on a $1.1M tax bill, largely due to state-authorized Brownsfields tax credits and Enterprise Zone tax credits.
