For the past several years, the City of Hinesville, located in Liberty County Georgia has been developing and implementing strategies to revitalize its downtown and adjacent areas. The City is implementing its Downtown Redevelopment Master Plan which involves recommendations to drive the economic and transportation ventures of the City of Hinesville in order to create A New Hinesville.

Hinesville has many historical resources and a bright future for tourism, economic development, redevelopment and transportation. In particular, Memorial Drive in historic downtown Hinesville will be a viable live, work, play community offering amenities seen in many urban areas. The goal will be achieved by:


 

Converting blighted or unused property into viable
commercial businesses and residential housing

Restoring the appropriate historical appearance of buildings

Improving the integration of vehicle and pedestrian traffic

Redevelopment of Brownfield sites will foster a more rapid redevelopment of historic Hinesville and will positively influence stakeholders, such as business owners, developers and the local community toward the vision of a revitalized downtown.

Project Description

Using a 2005 US EPA Grant the City of Hinesville assessed properties along Memorial Drive for possible contamination. The properties were identified based on their former use as automotive shops and service stations. Two sites were selected for cleanup. The City of Hinesville applied for and was a warded two Brownfield Cleanup Grants by the US EPA. The proper cleanup of the brownfield sites at 116 and 123 Memorial Drive will move the City forward and assist in its redevelopment and revitalization plans.

The City of Hinesville contracted Earth Tech AECOM to perform the programmatic activities of the brownfield cleanup including removal of old fuel tanks and contaminated soil. Earth Tech supplies a team of qualified and experienced environmental professionals to assist the City with management and execution of the Brownfield cleanup project.
