Despite cleanup, N. Tonawanda brownfield site still goes begging

NORTH TONAWANDA - A former brownfield site near the Niagara River primed for
redevelopment has sat environmentally clean but untouched by new business
for three years.

That's not exactly what city officials had in mind when they started
investigating contamination there in the late 1990s.

A total of $3.4 million in city and state funding was spent to remediate
contamination left at the former Oliver Street site of Buffalo Bolt and
Roblin Steel.

While other light industrial development moves forward on previously
undeveloped land in nearby towns such as Wheatfield and Amherst, there's a
renewed push to see something happen on the 23-acre parcel.

"You did it, and nothing's going on," City Engineer Dale W. Marshall said of
the cleanup and its uneventful aftermath.
