Libby Neighbors Will Restore a Outdoor Community Space

Libby
  • Local Champion: Em Kayan Village Water and Sewer District
  • Date Funded: December 18, 2024
  • Grant Amount: $30,000

The Em Kayan Village is a residential area outside of downtown Libby with an outdoor space that is unsafe due to trace asbestos contamination and the cost-prohibitive measures needed to remove it. Members of the neighborhood had been discussing ways to address the problem when a board member for the subdivision reached out to the LOR Foundation. With LOR’s help, the Em Kayan Village Water and Sewer District will be able to hire contractors to remove contaminated soil, replace it with grass, and restore a community space that will feature fields and playground equipment.
