This property is located at 939 So. Broadway
(on the Grumman property across from Lowe's)
|
|
|
|
This structure is highly visible by the large plume of condensation that occurs particularly on moist, humid
days. The plume is the after product of untreated ground water being used to cool its outer core.
We are concerned with the content of that untreated ground water and its effects.

The community was quite taken back as the steel was being erected and came to find out that
this structure will be nearly 50’ feet tall. The property was zoned for such a
development and therefore the community did not require notification.

In 2005, public outcry against a hotel on this property was instrumental
in TOBAY denying permits for it's development.
In 2009 new plans were submitted to develop 11 apartments over retail stores.
The HGCA opposed the development of the apartments and the Town has denied
the application.

Hooker Chemical/Ruco Polymer Site
|

This property (14.86 acres) is located on New South Road
(just north of the railroad tracks)

|
The Hooker Chemical/Ruco Polymer site is on the National Priorities List (NPL) of hazardous waste sites.
Plastics, polyesters and other synthetic polymers were manufactured on site from 1945 - 1982.
The on-site disposal of liquid waste contaminated the soil with hazardous waste (PCB's among others).
Currently the site is being cleaned up and the HGCA is monitoring the operation.
