Council hears plan to lease contaminated parcels to Siena/Francis House to pursue EPA brownfield grant City staff and counsel described a proposed 99-year ground lease that would allow Siena/Francis House to apply for an EPA brownfield grant to clean contaminated parcels adjacent to its campus; cleanup estimated at about $3 million and remediation could begin as early as next fall if grant funding is secured. Council discussion did not record a final vote at this meeting.

A bold plan to lease contaminated land could pave the way for a $3 million cleanup grant, but will the city council take action in time?
