The Quincy Smelter Works site in Ripley received $1 million for stabilization of several buildings as a result of President Barack Obama signing the 2010 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act into law Friday, which included the money for the smelter site. Work on stabilization could begin next summer.
RIPLEY — Next summer, there could be a lot of construction activity at the former Quincy Smelter Works, thanks in large part to federal funding.
On Thursday, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the 2010 Interior, Environment and Related Agencies Appropriations Act after a House-Senate conference committee approved the bill, which included $1 million for stabilization efforts at the smelter site. It was then sent to the president for his signature, which he did Friday.
