"Garden City Compost is about to see some new upgrades coming to its facility, worth $8.5 million, funding for which comes from federal COVID-19 relief money.

Some of those upgrades include a concrete pad for the compost to sit on top of in order to come in compliance with state regulations and also help them address a PFAS contamination issue.
