The first of three projects that the City of Taylor has worked on under the EPA grant is a 28 acre property that was formerly used as a foundry. At the start of the project, the property was in use as a mixed commercial, industrial, and residential complex. Fill materials, including eight feet of foundry sand were found at the sight. The property was privately owned, however, the owner was not held liable for the contamination. Wal-Mart was encouraged by assessment dollars from EPA and BRA funds from the City, to purchase the property and redevelop it.
