The cities of Chisholm, Hibbing and Virginia last week were awarded $586,030 in Commercial Redevelopment grants by Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation. The agency invests approximately $1 million annually into the grant program across its 13,000 square-mile service area. The grants assist with the internal and external demolition of commercial and industrial buildings and clean-up of brownfields to pave the way for new development.
“Our local downtowns are vital to the Iron Range communities and impact both our economy and quality of life. We rely on them as places we do business and where we engage in cultural and social events,” said Commissioner Ida Rukavina, Iron Range Resources & Rehabilitation. “We were very pleased to support these three communities as they work to further revitalize their downtowns.”
