Sun, VA: Conceptual Redevelopment Plan for the Former Sun Motors Property

Abstract

The Community Design Assistance Center (CDAC) of Virginia Tech received a U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Brownfields Assessment grant to assess and help communities develop conceptual redevelopment plans for potentially contaminated sites in southwest Virginia communities.

The EPA Assessment Grant provides funding for CDAC to help communities determine if a site is contaminated (and if so, with what), and then to plan for the possible redevelopment of that site through conceptual design development.

The purpose of this project was to work with a Stakeholders Committee to create a conceptual redevelopment plan for former Sun Motors property. The primary end-use of the property would be a solid waste transfer station operated by Russell County.
