PHOENIX – Arizona Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ) officials announced today a $12,000 Brownfields Grant award to the Town of Pinetop-Lakeside to conduct an asbestos and lead-based paint survey of the old Town Hall building at the corner of Niels Hansen and Jackson Lanes.
The Town of Pinetop-Lakeside intends to conduct remediation and abatement of contaminants based on these survey results and to prepare for the building's safe demolition. The building previously served, over 60 years, as a Town Hall, an office space and a junior high school.
