The City of Janesville wants to hear from you! Please join your neighbors and area businesses at an evening open house on October 9th from 6 to 8 pm at the Janesville Municipal Building, City Council Chambers, 18 N. Jackson Street. Your input is needed to better understand how cleaning-up pollution and run-down buildings can improve the health of Janesville residents. This event is free and open to the general public. Light refreshments will be served, and children are welcome to attend with their parents.
The City of Janesville, in cooperation with the Rock County Health Department and other local organizations, is undergoing a city-wide project with the goal of protecting public health and the environment, removing blight, and cleaning up brownfield sites in Janesville. Brownfield sites are properties that are, or have the potential to be, contaminated with hazardous substances because of past or present uses. The success of our efforts will not only be measured in the number of brownfield sites identified and assessed, but also in how the City can address environmental and social injustices that may be related to brownfield sites in our community.
During the open house, you will have an opportunity to find out more about the City’s Brownfields Redevelopment Project (http://www.janesvillewi.gov/redevelopment) and to give the City your input.
We look forward to having you participate in this exciting process for our community. Please RSVP to Terry Nolan, (608)755-3095 or nolant@ci.janesville.wi.us.
