Plans are being made to finish a cleanup project at a former foundry  
site at the corner of Blackhawk Boulevard and Gardner Street.

The South Beloit City Council voted Tuesday to apply for an Illinois  
Environmental Protection Agency revolving loan for $20,000 for  
brownfield cleanup and remediation. The council also approved hiring  
Terracon Consulting Engineers to help the city plan remediation work.

for the remediation project.

The property was once home to a foundry, which was operated by Beloit
