Laurinburg Brownfields Project

In 2000, the City of Laurinburg was awarded a $250,000 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to conduct environmental site assessment, outreach and redevelopment planning activities related to identified brownfield properties within the City. Brownfield sites are properties where real or perceived environmental contamination inhibits redevelopment and reuse. The City's efforts have been focused on the old hospital building, the former Laurinburg High School building and several sites along Railroad Street.
