SEPTA Invites Community Input on Brownfields Cleanup Grant Application, Jan. 13

SEPTA is applying for a Brownfields Cleanup Grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to support environmental remediation efforts at 5022 Grays Avenue. This site is proposed for redevelopment as part of SEPTA’s Trolley Modernization program, which includes the construction of a new trolley maintenance facility to support accessible, fast and easy trolley service. Community engagement is essential to this process, and SEPTA invites residents to participate in a virtual public meeting to learn more and share feedback.
