A brownfield plan in the amount of $226,153 was approved Monday by the Birmingham City Commission to clean up any underground contamination at the former Citgo gas station at 33588 Woodward Avenue.

Duane Barbat, of Barbat Properties, plans to redevelop the site into a Shell Gas Station with an indoor Dunkin Donuts store. The company plans to spend an estimated $1 million on the new station, along with hiring five full-time employees and two part-time workers to run the 24-hour operation.
