Your feedback helps us prioritize what to improve next.
The roughly four-acre site has impacted soil and groundwater linked to past industrial use, with groundwater contamination extending beneath a neighborhood. Cleanup could take about five years, followed by another five years of monitoring; one alternative involving long-term monitoring was estimated at about $3 million. Future redevelopment, including possible mixed-use or residential use, will depend on cleanup and future zoning decisions.
