Harnett County Economic Development requested on June 16 that the Harnett County Board of Commissioners approve pursuit of a countywide U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Brownfield Assessment Grant valued at $500,000, to be pursued in partnership with Terracon.

The request, presented as part of the board's action-item packet, seeks county approval to pursue the assessment grant that would fund environmental site assessments and related planning for potential brownfield properties. The meeting summary does not record a formal vote or motion outcome for this request.

Economic development staff described the partnership with Terracon as part of the application plan; the transcript does not provide additional details on proposed project sites, match requirements or the proposed timeline for the grant application.

If approved in the future, an EPA Brownfield Assessment Grant would typically fund Phase I and Phase II environmental assessments and related outreach; specific program uses and potential local match obligations were not specified during the June 16 meeting.
