The city of Chillicothe has announced that it has received a grant for 
the clean-up of the old prison property on the south side of Third Street.

The grant, in the amount of $316,974, comes following an application by 
the city to the Missouri Brownfield Revolving Loan Fund for the cleanup 
of the former Chillicothe Corrections Center.

...

"This a tremendous boost to the housing project," said Terry Rumery, who 
is Chillicothe's contracted economic developer. "The fact that we are 
able to get this size of an EPA grant for the clean-up of the old prison 
property saves the citizens a great deal of money that now can be 
utilized for more public improvements to the area. Once it is cleaned up 
(asbestos and other requirements) the developer can start to work on the 
infrastructure improvements that need to be done."
