MARINA DEL REY, CA - NOVEMBER 21, 2019 - Josey Peters, 54, never knows what he’ll find while collecting trash and cleaning debris along the Ballona Creek in Marina Del Rey. He’s been doing this since 2007. “It’s kind of like triage. You do your best and that’s all you can do,” Peters said while collecting debris after a rain storm. The skeleton of a dog, possibly a Halloween decoration, is made of plastic and washed up along the shore with other debris. (Genaro Molina / Los Angeles Times)

The government gave $3 million to five places in Southern California to clean up dirty land and make it safe for building.

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.
