Mesothelioma and Asbestos

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has awarded $200,000 to the Workforce Investment Board of Herkimer, Madison as well as Oneida Counties in New York for reviving brownfields. The brownfield project reclaims land contaminated by environmental hazards, providing jobs as well as preserving the environment. This project will train local area workers to uncluttered up sites contaminated with lead, asbestos as well as other toxic materials.

As part of the plan, student recruits will come from local unemployed adults, low-income individuals who are under-employed, older youths, as well as ex-offenders. Graduates will be certified to perform much-needed environmentally protected cleanup as well as redevelopment of abandoned sites including abandoned gas stations, factories, mills as well as other toxic commercial properties.
