Contaminated Soil Removal And Funding Options To Be Researched

An issue that dates back nearly ten years was discussed by the Village Board and Planning Commission recently – what to do the former B-Plant property located on Maple Street South in downtown Turtle Lake. This piece of property was a former creamery until the 1980s when it was home to additional businesses once the creamery closed, most notable a storage building for used telephones. The building and its contents were destroyed in a 1991 fire. After years of negotiating the building was razed and eventually became Village-owned property. Since then it has been determined contamination of the soil exists and the Village began looking into remediation options for the property.  SEE COMPLETE STORY IN THE TIMES OR READ ONLINE WITH PAID SUBSCRIPTION.
