RECENT HIGHLIGHT
A notorious polluted site in West Trenton is set for renewal, thanks to a federal grant of almost $2 million. The Environmental Protection Agency announced Thursday (6/29/23) the money would go toward remediating the former New Methods Cleaners site on Prospect Street. The property has been vacant since 2015. Local, state and federal leaders said they hope the remediation work will allow for new development at the site and a revitalization of the neighborhood.
NIA is proud to be apart of this effort and will continue to be an advocate for Trenton and its residents. For future updates, please follow our social media accounts @NIAofNewJersey!
