Salem City has been awarded an $800,000 federal grant to clean up its historic Waterfront Industrial Zone, the U.S. Department of Environmental Protection said Wednesday.
The money is part of a total of $1.9 million granted to Salem, Hainsport, Trenton and the New Jersey Economic Development Authority by the federal Department of Environmental Protection to clean up brownfield sites, according to an EPA news release. Nationwide, 151 communities received 154 grants totaling $66.5 million.
Priority sites in Salem include the Tri-County Oil site at 1 Front Street, the 6-acre Aluchem heavy industrial site at W. Broadway, and the McCarthy’s Bar site at 190 Griffith Street, the release said.
Under a newly signed bill, income from the federal Paycheck Protection Program will not be used to calculate how much in taxes a business owes to the state.
