In 2006, the City of Chattanooga was awarded a grant from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to assess previously used properties which are currently abandoned or underused in the Alton Park area.  This grant money can only be used for site inventory, site assessment, community involvement, health review and monitoring as well as developing a cleanup and redevelopment plan. The City has completed the assessments and will share the result with the community.  The Tennessee Department of Health will also review the related Health Risk Assessment.
