Since we live right adjacent to this area, I'm interested in what the plans might be for what is now the abandoned site of two old (and burned) warehouses. The paper also mentioned the city has already received a good amount of EPA money to clean up any old creosote remaining in the area. Unfortunately. we will likely be on the road so any input we have will be outside this meeting. Thanks for the heads-up. I noticed a brief item about this very thing in the paper last week.

Does this friend of yours happen to be a developer? Buried under a lot of this "progress" is a lot of bad planning, waste and graft, which is why a lot of people show up. If you can't be troubled to attend these meetings you really shouldn't complain about the people who actually do.
