Orange, West Orange Valley to become Brownfields

Jon Casiano tells us in the Sunday Star-Ledger, that the State Department of Environmental protection will designate the Orange and West Orange Valley as a Brownfields Development Area tomorrow.

The Valley will be eligible for $10M in grants for environmental cleanup and redevelopment. Hopefully, this will really spearhead progress for this particular project. Many of the old factories in the area are major eyesores that cast a large foreboding presence over the community.
