Presentation: EPA grant may cover asbestos mitigation at White Eagle Village; county responsible for demolition costs
Summary
Consultant Kathleen Knox told the board asbestos removal at White Eagle Village could take about a month and EPA grant funds likely would cover mitigation in fall 2026; the county would remain responsible for additional demolition costs.
Kathleen Knox presented the White Eagle Village survey and asbestos-removal timeline at the Jan. 6 meeting. Knox said asbestos abatement with a contractor would take about a month before demolition could begin and that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency likely could provide grant funds for mitigation in fall 2026; the county would be responsible for the remaining demolition costs.
Board members asked questions about grant timelines and next steps; Knox indicated she would continue to pursue grant sources and report back. The minutes record the board discussed the scope of county responsibility for demolition funding after mitigation grants, but no formal funding decision was taken at the meeting.
