GALESBURG - Two brownfield sites in the city could be cleaned up by the 
Illinois Environmental Protection Agency if the City Council acts on the 
recommendations made Monday by the city’s development director.

Roy Parkin told the council of the situation at four brownfield sites 
within city limits. According to the IEPA, a brownfield is an abandoned, 
unused, under-used industrial or commercial property that has actual or 
perceived contamination and an active potential for redevelopment once 
it is cleaned up.

The contaminated properties discussed are 963 S. Henderson St., site of 
the former Paintcraft Manufacturing Corp.; 3200 N. Henderson St., a now 
vacant lot once a Gulf Station; 57 N. Kellogg St., former site of Knox 
Laundry; and 117 N. Kellogg St., site of the recently demolished 
Viewpoint Eatery.
