Building up the city

Dunkirk, NY
By GIB SNYDER OBSERVER City Editor


5/27/2007 - A newly formed committee is working hard to bring some old
industrial dilapidated buildings in Dunkirk some new life.

This past week 13 members of the local steering committee of the Brownfield
Opportunity Areas program took a tour of three brownfield sites located in
the city.

...The group viewed the three areas of concern on the former Al Tech Steel
Co. site, now owned by RealCo Inc., before proceeding to the Central Avenue
site of the future Fredonia State University high technology incubator. A
visit to the former Roblin Steel Co. site rounded out the tour.

...Both Chautauqua County and the city play a role in the sites' cleanup and
redevelopment. The Al Tech sites are under the city's purview while the
Roblin site, which will eventually include both the former Alumax plant and
the Edgewood Warehouse, is under the county's supervision.

...Cooperation has been the key so far in getting things done to prepare for
the future use of the sites in the city. What that future use will be is the
charge for the BOA committee.
