Manitowoc

Description

The whole site is contaminated fill, so the plan is targeted removal of hot spots plus capping with green space, a bike path, and the future Chicago Street extension — a $3.9 million EPA grant request.

Impact summary

A big step toward extending Chicago Street and opening up riverfront land for trails and green space, funded by federal dollars.
