The City of New Castle will apply for a $1 million state Local Share Account grant to help with the demolition of the former Shenango China.
Council agreed to apply for the grant during its voting meeting Thursday, which does not call for any matching funds. The cost to demolish the property and clean up the site is expected to be more than $10 million.
