Hattiesburg-The City of Hattiesburg is soliciting comments from residents through October 16 concerning its bid for an U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 2013 grant. The grant would fund the cleanup of city-owned property located in the East Jerusalem community bounded to the south by Curry St., north by Gordon’s Creek and the Leaf River to the east. Geographic coordinates for the site are: Latitude: 31º19’53.06” N; Longitude: 89º16’34.82” W. The property was deemed eligible for federal EPA cleanup dollars following a Phase I and Phase II environmental assessment afforded by an EPA Brownfields Coalition grant. The environmental concerns with the site are directly related to the City’s plans for reuse of the site. The City currently owns approximately 250 acres of riverfront property including the subject site. North of the site and north of Gordon’s Creek, the City has developed a public park known as Chain Park. It is the City’s desire to redevelop the entire riverfront area as public recreation and green space in a manner consistent with Chain Park. Click here to view a copy of the proposed application. The application may also be viewed at the Library of Hattiesburg Forrest County computer lab through assistance from the reference desk. A draft will also be available for public viewing at the City Clerk’s counter on the second floor of City Hall. Comments can be submitted during the City Council Public Meeting at 4 p.m., on Oct. 1, or to the Office of the Grant Coordinator at 601.554.1014 or
