Box-maker next-door wants to buy brownfield site on Crowley
By Jonathan D. Epstein
Buffalo News (NY)
August 3, 2018
The city agency responsible for cleaning up, managing and redeveloping brownfield properties has barely owned the a century-old former manufacturing property in Riverside for a few weeks, and the property's neighbor already is interested in buying a significant
piece of the 7-acre site.
The Buffalo Urban Development Corp. bought the former sewing machine and television manufacturing plant at 308 Crowley Ave., paying $50,000 in June to take on the abandoned site.
The property includes both vacant land and about 300,000 square feet of existing but deteriorating buildings that can't be reused. Officials planned to demolish most of the brick buildings that still remain ? except for a historic clock tower ? before remediating
and clearing the site for future use, said BUDC President Peter Cammarata.

Latest testing shows lower TCE levels at Abby Kelley Foster high school in Worcester
By Scott O?Connell
Worcester Telegram & Gazette (MA)
August 6, 2018
WORCESTER - In letters to parents this past week, Abby Kelley Foster Charter Public School leaders said follow-up testing has shown there are not elevated levels of potential harmful chemicals inside the high school.
But some parents remain concerned about the discovery of trichloroethylene, or TCE for short, in the building via air tests conducted in June, as well as the school administration?s handling of the situation.
The initial tests, which indicated there were slightly elevated levels of TCE - a known carcinogen - in some parts of the high school, triggered additional air testing last month at the request of the state Department of Environmental Protection.

New Urban Farm Brings Cheer to Deserving Community
By FRANK CARINI
eco?Ri News (RI)
August 6, 2018
PROVIDENCE - The place was a complete mess, but a trio of determined women was going to buy it anyway, as soon as the seller removed about 50 tattered mattresses from the dilapidated building.
The 2.7-acre property was covered with wind-blown trash. More than a year later, the three women are still picking up broken glass. In fact, when they ask volunteers to help with the property?s rehabilitation, children are not welcome, at least not yet.
They ripped up poison ivy by gloved hand, and brought in a tractor to help tear down the overgrowth. The empty factory with a brick facade, largely vacant since the 1990s, has no running water or electricity, is covered in graffiti, has been the victim of arson,
and has been gutted of all scrap metal.

Additional testing shows levels low at Franklin schools
By Annie Goeller
Franklin Daily Journal (IN)
August 6, 2018
Additional testing of the air underneath two Franklin schools showed little to no levels of volatile organic compounds with the start of school this week.
The testing was the second round at Needham and Webb elementary schools, which are both near the former Amphenol facility in Franklin where residents have raised concerns about contaminants. The first round of testing also showed little to no levels of the
volatile organic compounds PCE and TCE, which can have harmful health impacts.
School officials decided to do the testing due to concerns raised in the community about the safety of the schools after testing done by another group found PCE and TCE in the air in some homes in Franklin and near the former Amphenol facility, which is down
the road from both schools.

Bidding ends in a week -- and there has not been much action, so PR is essential. Hence this e-mail.
I have yet to figure out how to buy any of the stuff without great hassle, but lot number 9999 is "moving and pickup of furniture" and that may be helpful!! (Another other option may be DC friends.)
