Remediation and repurposing in power plants future
Plans for the Piqua Power Plant remediation can now go forward as the approval for Ohio brownfield funding has been approved.
The $2.6 million grant provided by the Ohio Brownfield Remediation Program will help the city clean up and ready the historic building on the banks of the Great Miami River for reuse. Specifically, the funds will be used for asbestos abatement and the demolition of equipment that is now obsolete.
Built in 1933, the power plant’s second life might be as a mixed-use commercial redevelopment that could include any of the following options, recreational, entertainment, residential, and special production facilities. The plant, which utilized steam-powered generators to make electricity, ceased operations in 1997.
Banner printing services can be helpful in drumming up public interest in a newly developed project before and during its grand opening.
The Piqua community and economic development director, Chris Schmiesing, explained:
The power plant remediation project is expected to cost approximately $3.47 million, with the balance after subtracting the $2.6 brownfield money coming from Piqua’s Power System. No exact date has been set for the abatement to commence, only that it will begin in 2025 and take several months to finish.

“We see an opportunity for the building to be preserved and transformed into something special that takes advantage of the unique character of the building and its location along the Great Miami River and Piqua’s expansive trail system.”
