The Village of Newberry worked with TARA to acquire two grants to redevelop reclaimed brownfield property into a recreational complex. Construction began 2012. A 2013 completion date is anticipated.
*Grant 1: $300,000 (MDNRE) Department of Environmental Quality
Update as of 2013: with the funding from the DEQ Grant , The Village of Newberry has been able to complete 1/2 of the redevelopment (phase 1) of the parcel just north of the railroad tracks. This area is to be capped off and paved for the parking lots for the recreation complex. Phase 2 is expected to be completed in the spring of 2013
