yes. the owner exists and can be sued for cleanup. Lets get on with it. The pollution from that site will obviously downhill into the tail from the gas station on the corner and to another former gas station site on the corner of Maple and Franklin. Going the other way you run from Stop and Shop (supermarkets always have refrigeration chemical pollution) right to down the hill to Kings and a dry cleaner before continuing to Vets and the creek. The whole path is probably polluted and will require millions to cleanup.
Let the Town Garage developer take this one on the chin. File a cleanup action with the DEP and get on with it. The _worst_ thing we could do is end up with that huge potential liability for the Village. Let all those PRPs battle it out and re-mediate.
Every corner on Franklin had gas stations….here’s the list from the train station to maple….amoco, Mobil, Phillips 66 at chestnut . Texaco and chevron. At walnut arco, Sinclair anothe Mobil , anoth texaco…at maple. Esso
The building that Amano is in now was an environmental project for sure.
They should have the. Owners knock it down and clean it up, it looks like shit no excuse. Or is this just dirty politics again. It wouldn’t surprise us. Very dirty dirty embarrassing.
The hole street is dirty . Just like all the side roads off of franklin av . They all need to be repaved why don’t the town pave roads in the c b d .
Let all those PRPs battle it out and re-mediate. This could take years but the town should not have to pay towards the remediation. Let the owners pay for their attorneys to sort it out.
Is the owner at least paying taxes on the property ?
You know when you go for a ride through the CBD most of the CBD is a shit hole Road Falling apart parking lots look like shit corner Ramps all busted up. Some of the parking lots need to be reconstructed. 95% of all the pavers that were installed and years ago or so look like shit. What about park-and-ride on 17 another shit hole. What about the town down buildings on chestnut Street Falling apart. Even part of village hall look like garbage it’s amazing
