Fuel & Oil Tanks Under Dollar Tree Site

City Council Approves $10,000 Grant To Help Clean Up Development

The Kimball City Council last week discussed and approved a $10,000 Economic Development Demolition and Reclamation Grant for KIM5 LLC, also known as Family Dollar/Dollar Tree.

In its grant proposal, KIM5 LLC reported that it “will build-brand (a) new 10,500 square foot retail building for a combo store. We are on a very tight timeline to deliver the building, so we have started the tank removal process. Finding fuel in the tanks has increased the cost and delayed the project.”

They began the project on Oct. 5, and want to have it completed by May 1, but said that “during our due diligence, we found five (5) underground storage tanks with fuel in them and a sixth (6) UST previously used for motor oil disposal.”

To help out with the project, the council unanimously approved the $10,000 demolition and reclamation grant.
