The City of The Dalles, North Wasco County School District 21, and the Port of Arlington are among the recipients of Environmental Protection Agency grans to expedite assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites. The City of The Dalles will receive $500,000 targeted to the Westside and Downtown Historic areas to conduct environmental site assessments and cleanup alternative evaluations, develop site-specific reuse plans and an area-wide plan, and conduct community engagement activities. D-21 will also receive $500,000 for clean up of the 13-acre site of the former Chenowith Middle School, which has sat vacant since 2009. The Port of Arlington Environmental Sentry Corporation has been selected to receive $780,000 to clean up the former Condon Grade School. The 3.2-acre cleanup site was used as a school for just over one hundred years and has been vacant since it closed at the end of the 2021-2022 school year.
