Towns to split $271,000
for industrial cleanup

Chicago Tribune - 7/9

The Lake County Board awarded $271,000 in state grants Tuesday to North Chicago, Waukegan and Park City to clean up industrial pollution from areas slated for commercial development.

North Chicago intends to use two grants totaling $124,000 to clean up areas on Sheridan Road between 18th and 21st Streets that are being converted to two commercial developments.

Waukegan will use its $75,000 grant to clean up property near the shuttered Outboard Marine Corp. on the Lake Michigan shore between Municipal Beach and the North Shore Sanitary District's wastewater-treatment plant. Officials said they hope to convert the property to a public beach.

Park City officials intend to use the community's $72,000 grant to clean up an area southeast of Washington Street and Teske Boulevard, which also is slated for commercial development.

The county still has $50,000 in grants from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency available until Aug. 31.
