Brownfields Revisited: Master Plan | Podcast

SANDUSKY, OH - The Erie Wire attended the two most recent meetings of the Sandusky City Brownfields Committee (BFC) where after attention from local entrepreneurs Bob Waldock and Lance Warner – in the interest of the DC Filter site – the 2010 committee was set in motion.

In March the BFC revisited an option to obtain USEPA funding for a Phase I and Phase II of the DC Filter site.  After a silent agreement for this option, the committee re-prioritized a list of sites for immediate action and concluded these sites to be from the highest to lowest priority: 1. DC Filter, 2. Sandusky Cabinets, 3. Coal Tar Plume, 4. Lions Park, 5. Ice House, 6. Keller asbestos and TCE. Other property mentioned as lowest on the list – Dixon Ticonderoga, Tricor, Jackson Street Parking Lot and the Water Street Parking Lot.

April’s meeting brainstormed for a Master Plan for the BFC. A question introduced by Bob Haag, the contracted facilitator from Haag Environmental, set the course for discussion: “What type(s) of development would the committee like to see on a Brownfield: Commercial, Residential, Recreational and/or Industrial?” Listen below to the following podcast recording the one hour discussion about a Master Plan for development of the Brownfields.
