The City of Greenwood met Tuesday with residents of the Greenwood  
Mill Village to discuss the results of the environmental testing  
recently performed at the old mill site on Kitson Street.

While various contaminants were found in some soil and groundwater  
samples at the site, environmental experts said the contamination is  
not as bad as they have seen at other former mill sites in other  
cities. Environmental officials also said there is no reason to think  
any of the contaminants are moving off the mill site and into the  
surrounding neighborhood.

Officials met with mill village neighborhood association members  
Tuesday at Lowell Street United Methodist Church. Speakers in  
attendance included Greenwood city manager Charlie Barrineau,  
SCDHEC's Angela Gorman and CTC Public Benefits Corporation's Gail  
Rawls Jeter. CTC Public Benefit Corporation was contracted by the  
city to perform the environmental testing on the old mill site.
