| Description | From the 1990s through the present, the City of Palouse has successfully completed a wide range of community projects that have revitalized the downtown area, including the cleanup and redevelopment of the Palouse Producers site. Throughout the City’s history, Palouse Producers supported the town and the local agricultural economy as a feedstore, blacksmith, livery stable, welding shop, petroleum distribution facility, and a service station, but it went bankrupt in 1985, leaving no one to clean up. In 1996, the downtown corridor was severely damaged by a 500-year flood, and floodwaters distributed petroleum and metals contamination throughout the Palouse Producers site. After the flood, the Palouse project leveraged more than $1.2 million in state and federal funds to remediate, redevelop, and restore the site. The property now hosts a veterinary office and local brewery, and the project won the Small Site & Community Impact Phoenix Award at the national Brownfields Conference in 2023. | ||||
