Looked it up. It was operating until the 1980s, and it’s at 43 Jackson St.

I don’t have time to look it up, right now, but I am curious about what sort of contaminants an iron foundry would produce. The NYS environmental site mentioned “historic emissions”and said something about the contamination being off site. ???

to an envirowacko, everything is a contaminent

I would guess there are traces of heavy metals lurking about

The foundry here closed and the property was cleared to the ground. It lies vacant for the reasons a buyer fears bankruptcy on receiving title.

The foundry bankrupt and the city wound up with the property for taxes

Thanks! It is kind of part of the edge of a residential area and I think back then it was pretty much the same type of development, so I’ll keep an open mind on this one. If the ground is contaminated then a clean up is certainly warranted.
