Port takes control of Teledyne property
June 3, 2003

The 28-acre Teledyne property on Laskey Road was transferred yesterday
from the federal government to the Toledo-Lucas County Port Authority,
part of a continuing federal withdrawal of defense-plant ownership.

The transfer completes a process that started in 2001 when the port
authority agreed to acquire the site.

The transaction was delayed until now while responsibility for cleaning
up "limited contamination" at the site was established, a port authority
statement said.

The Navy will remain solely responsible for such cleanup, the agency
said.

The facility, which includes a 373,278-square-foot factory, dates to
1942. Its products ranged from aircraft engines to B-47 bomber
landing-gear sub-assemblies and, most recently, small turbine engines
for jet trainers, target drones, and missiles.
