“Local officials on Wednesday announced plans to use a recent $300,000 federal grant to expand assessment of contaminated properties to include key brownfield sites in Willimansett. Mayor John Vieau and U.S. Rep. Richard Neal, D-Springfield, were among officials gathered to discuss the grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The details were presented at the central maintenance garage on Meadows Street, and in a news release from Neal’s office.”
