Land Bank conditions use of remaining demolition funds pending brownfield assessment for Jeffersonville site
Summary
Board discussed 31 S. Main St. in Jeffersonville—an abandoned gas station now owned by the Village of Jeffersonville—and voted to use remaining demolition grant funds for demolition only if an assessment determines the site is not a brownfield.
The Fayette County Land Bank discussed a property at 31 S. Main St., Jeffersonville, described in the meeting as an abandoned gas station now owned by the Village of Jeffersonville. Board members said the site is suspected to be a brownfield and agreed that demolition grant funds could not be used for demolition work until an environmental assessment determines whether the site qualifies as a brownfield.
Mr. Branen Weade moved and Mr. Joe Denen seconded a motion that the board use the remaining grant funds for demolition work if it is determined to be an allowable expense and the site is not a brownfield; Chair Tony Anderson called for a voice vote and the motion passed unanimously. The transcript also states, without explicit assignment, that "grant extensions have been approved for the 2022 grant until December 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026;" the transcript does not specify which extension applies to which grant or parcel.
The board’s action is conditional: work may proceed only after (1) an environmental assessment clarifies whether the site is a brownfield and (2) staff confirms the demolition work would be an allowable expense under the relevant grant rules.
