City Manager Michael Johnson reported that the Jefferson County Port Authority was awarded $654,173 in state funding for brownfield remediation projects that will support asbestos removal and demolition at the former Naval Marine Training Center on Cherry Avenue and a site assessment for Johnny's Tire on Route Seven. Johnson said the training-center project is intended to prepare the site for workforce housing in partnership with the Jefferson County Land Bank and Welcome Home Ohio, and the Port Authority expects the projects to create about 10 jobs.
“ I want to thank the Port Authority and its director, Robert Naylor, for his efforts in obtaining these grants that all benefit the citizens of Steubenville,” Johnson said. Council received the announcement as part of administrative reports and did not take formal action; staff thanked the Port Authority for securing the funds that support local redevelopment efforts.
