题名: America's Central Port Upgrades Buildings
正文语种: eng

摘要: As part of its program of continuous improvements, America's Central Port,located at Granite City, Ill., just north of St. Louis and across the Mississip-pi River, has upgraded and renovated two buildings for potential commercial tenants. Both buildings were left over from the site's past as a military facili-ty. After extensive evaluation, both were judged to be worth renovating, accord-ing to Alex Burkart, director of strate-gic marketing and economic outreach for the port.Building 202 was a former U.S. Army steam plant. From the Army base closure in the early 2000s until the conveyance of the parcel in 2016 to America's Cen-tral Port, no maintenance or repairs were completed on the building. Prior to re-ceiving an Economic Development Au-thority grant for its renovation, the port had invested over $250,000 in the build-ing to abate asbestos- and lead-contain-ing materials, as well as an additional $300,000 for a new roof and interior de-molition. The funds received through the EDA grant allowed the port to transform the space into a 6,500-square-foot facil-ity, with heavy-duty concrete floors, 30-foot ceilings, and large amounts of natu-ral light.
