Everett waterfront gets $15.5 million federal grant for improvements
A $15,500,000 grant for improvements to the Everett waterfront was announced Wednesday by U.S. Senators Maria Cantwell, Parry Murray, and U.S. Representative Rick Larsen.
The grant will help the Port of Everett acquire a 58-acre brownfield site for the redevelopment of utilities, paving, and stormwater improvements related to maritime activity. The was deemed hazardous by the EPA in 2016 and isn't currently being used.
Funds will come from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (DOT) Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development (BUILD) program.
“Investing in Everett’s working waterfront creates more maritime jobs and more economic development for the entire community. Cleaning up the former Kimberly-Clark mill site will expand opportunities for the port to continue investing in Everett’s cutting-edge maritime workforce,” Senator Cantwell said.
