- Tom Hardesty

The Portage County Land Reutilization Corporation (Land Bank) has been awarded $375,000 in Brownfield Remediation Program funding through the State of Ohio to address environmental challenges and spur redevelopment in Portage County.

Specifically, this round of BRP funding will be used to conduct environmental assessments at 200 W. Williams St. in Kent and 571 N. Walnut St. in Ravenna. These assessments will inform cleanup strategies and better position these properties for redevelopment.
