Ludlow Mills EPA FY24 Brownfield Cleanup Grant
The federal Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has selected Westmass for a $1,000,000 Brownfields Cleanup Grant at the Ludlow Mills.
Grant funds will be used to clean up the Ludlow Mills #11, Ludlow Mills #9, and Warehouse #199 sites located at Riverside Drive and 100 State Street in the City of Ludlow. Mills 11 and 9 of the 52-acre cleanup site were formerly used for various manufacturing operations over the past 150 years to create textiles and jute, which were stored in the warehouse. The sites are contaminated with inorganic contaminants, heavy metals, PCBs, and hazardous substances. Grant funds also will be used to prepare a Community Involvement Plan and conduct community engagement activities.
The spokesperson representing the cleanup is Sarah la Cour, VP of Planning and Development at Westmass, who can be reached by email at s.lacour@westmassdevelopment.com and by phone at (413) 386-3124.
