Request for Proposals (RFP) EPA Brownfield Cleanup for the Smoot Tannery Property

The Town of North Wilkesboro, as a general-purpose unit of local government, was selected for cleanup funding in the FY2025 competition in the amount of $1,768,578.The Smoot Tannery (Tannery) site sits in Census Tract 37193960600, just blocks away from the downtown corridor of North Wilkesboro, North Carolina (the Town). It is adjacent to many community assets, such as Smoot Park and the Yadkin River Blueway and Greenway. The Tannery is a prime location for redevelopment into recreational and community facilities to serve a rural town beset with environmental and economic challenges.The ruinous state of the buildings has precluded full site characterization, which poses risks to public health and is an impediment to redevelopment. The site previously had tax liens from the Town, County, and IRS (which have since been resolved), and it contributed nothing to the local economy as it remained vacant. Its abandoned, blighted state now hinders downtown revitalization efforts, deters investment, and perpetuates economic stagnation, resulting in lost revenue for the Town and County. The crumbling structures and debris detract from the area’s visual appeal and lower nearby property values. Structural instability led the Fire Department to issue “do not enter” placards on several buildings, marking clear safety hazards to the community.Redeveloping the Tannery is part of a broader strategy to target key properties in and near the downtown corridor for revitalization as outlined in the Town’s Downtown and River District Master Plan (collectively, Revitalization Plans). This grant will address contamination and stabilize the site, paving the way for redevelopment essential to the Town’s broader goals. Pollutant remediation will mitigate public health risks, enabling future community-centered projects like public green spaces, commercial spaces, or mixed-use developments that align with revitalization plans. This project will be implemented in 4 tasks:Task 1. Cleanup Planning and Reporting Subtasks. This task involves community engagement with Town Staff, public, elected officials, and other stakeholders.; Finalize cleanup plan and scope of work; Contractor selection; Quarterly reporting, Federal Financial Reporting (FFR), Final cleanup completion reporting, which involves entering site data in ACRES; File maintaining;Task 2.
