EPA $1 Million Brownfields Cleanup Grant to Transform Contaminated Site in Camden

Today (8/29), the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency celebrated the selection of Camden Lutheran Housing Inc. to receive a $1 million grant for the cleanup of the Former West Jersey Paper Manufacturing Site. The event, which took place at the intersection of North Front Street and Elm Street in Camden, New Jersey, was part of a tour of several key redevelopment sites in the area. Following the cleanup funded by this grant, 15 affordable single-family homes will be built at these locations, marking a significant step in the broader revitalization efforts across Camden.
