Grant monies to fund asbestos survey of Belmont Hotel building

ADEQ officials announced today an $8,600 Brownfields Grant award to the Town of Superior to conduct an asbestos survey of the Belmont Hotel building, constructed on Main Street in 1935.

The survey work is set to begin Thursday, Dec. 21, 2017. The Town of Superior intends to conduct remediation and abatement of contaminants based on these survey results and to prepare to make the site available for commercial development.

“The Belmont Hotel is an iconic building to Superior’s downtown, standing in the center of the community and serving as a symbol of the economic challenges that we have faced," says Superior Town Manager Todd Pryor. "Returning this building to usefulness and productivity will serve as a symbol of the Town’s recovery and hope for the future.”
