NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING

Please be advised that the Vinton Town Council will hold a public hearing at its meeting on Tuesday, December 5, 2023, at 6:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, in the Council Chambers of the Vinton Municipal Building, located at 311 South Pollard Street,

Vinton, Virginia, concerning the appropriation of funds in the amount of $500,000.00 in the Grant Fund for a Community-wide Brownfields Assessment Grant from U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency (EPA).

The purpose of the EPA Community-wide Brownfields Assessment Grant is to evaluate

underutilized commercial properties and/or perceived brownfields sites throughout the community that are in need of revitalization by performing Phase I and Phase II Environmental

Assessments at each identified location. The program will also allow for the development of

design concept plans, site specific remediation/redevelopment plans, and marketing materials to

be created for each site, with the hope of engaging potential developers to consider taking on the

redevelopment project.

Section 15.2-2507 of the 1950 Code of Virginia, as amended, requires any locality to hold a

Public Hearing in order to amend its budget when any such amendment exceeds one percent

(1%) of the total expenditures shown in the currently adopted budget.

Any additional information on this public meeting is available in the Town Manager’s Office,

located in the Vinton Municipal Building, (540) 983-0607. Persons requiring special assistance

to attend and participate in this public meeting should contact the Town Manager’s office at
