Cleaning up this eyesore is our #1 priority! Before officially owning the site, we began environmental clean-up work. In the fall, the environmental firm Tetra Tech conducted an updated environmental study to determine the extent of remediation work needed. Find their report below.

Homer Landscaping dramatically cut back vegetation and overgrowth on the property to provide access to roads and buildings on the site and help pave the way for the rest of the clean-up process. Crews have also removed three underground storage tanks that remain on the property.

Clean-up work will now focus on removing asbestos and other hazardous materials from inside the property’s buildings and demolishing all buildings on the site. 

Once the bid is awarded and in place, we will providing more updates to residents on all aspects of these next phases of cleanup and the timing for the work to begin. We anticipate the work will begin sometime this summer. Importantly, this cleanup work will include many precautions to ensure the safety of the surrounding community during these efforts, including third-party air monitoring and safety protections for workers at the site.
