DiNapoli: Oil Spill Fund Reaches New Agreements With St. Lawrence County
New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli today announced an agreement between the New York Environmental Protection and Spill Compensation Fund (Oil Spill Fund) and St. Lawrence County that will lead to the clean-up and redevelopment of contaminated commercial property in the villages of DeKalb and Massena.
The seven properties that are part of the latest agreement are tax-delinquent parcels that are being obtained by the county through foreclosure proceedings. Before they can be sold at public auction and put back on the tax rolls, an environmental remediation must occur.
