PPG Industries is committed to engaging Jersey City firms and workers in the cleanup of the company’s chromium waste sites.
This is why PPG established a goal that 20 percent of the contracts for the cleanup work will be awarded to Jersey City firms. In addition, PPG has set a goal that 20 percent of the workforce at cleanup sites be from Jersey City.
These objectives are part of PPG’s agreement with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection and the City of Jersey City on the remediation of 20 chromium sites in Hudson County.
To reach these objectives, PPG and its lead environmental consultant, AECOM, have developed this page to inform Jersey City-based suppliers of the procurement processes and expected needs in connection with the cleanups.
