Government Gives $3 Million to Clean up Polluted Areas in Southern California
According to a published article in the Los Angeles Times, five places in Southern California got money from the government, about $3 million, to fix up dirty places so they can be used again. They want to clean up these places, called “brownfields,” so they can build things there without worrying about pollution. The government wants to make sure these areas are safe for people and the environment.
The Orange County Transportation Authority and the Orange County Council of Governments are some of the groups getting the money. They will use it to clean up places like the OC Connect site in Garden Grove and Santa Ana. They also want to help neighborhoods where people don’t have many options for housing and healthcare.
