ATLANTA - The city of Atlanta is one of 23 communities around the country selected to receive a grant from federal environmental authorities to clean up contaminated sites.
The grant is part of the Environmental Protection Agency's Brownfields Area-Wide Planning Pilot Program.
The EPA said Monday the grant will provide about $175,000 to assess and provide a cleanup plan for contaminated sites that are a hindrance to economic development.
The plan will address brownfield sites in and around the Atlanta Beltline, Campbellton Road and Metropolitan Parkway.
The Atlanta Development Authority and the city of Atlanta, with assistance from Georgia Tech, submitted a proposal to the EPA in the spring.
