ADEQ Announces $97,630 Brownfield Grant Award to the Town of Camp Verde, Yavapai, AZ

PHOENIX – Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) officials announced today a $97,630 Brownfields Grant award to the Town of Camp Verde to revitalize the downtown area by performing an Asbestos and Lead-Based Paint Abatement on the old library building, removing it and making way for expanded parking for the newly constructed Camp Verde Community Library.

The abatement will allow the library to safely park more patrons and hold more community events. Since opening the new 17,000 square-foot facility in November 2016, the Camp Verde Community Library has seen more than 26,700 visitors, issued 500 new library cards and held more than 124 community events. The Brownfields Grant abatement of the old library building is scheduled for completion by mid-March.
