Sounds like a bunch of NIMBY's. How bad can the contamination from a Mental Institution be? It's not like they were manufacturing anything there.

I had a walk through of a nylon acetate plant this week. Man, if you want to talk aboust some nastiness......... Surprised

Very interesting article.

The old Dixmont Hospital in Kilbuck Township is in the process of being cleared to make way for a retail mall and Wal-Mart Super Center, but as has been the case since 2002, the development is not going up without a fight from a local organization.

As ASC Development Inc., owners of the property, and its contractors tear down the decaying buildings on the Dixmont site along Route 65 and begin the process of moving dirt and cutting into the steep hillside, concern has now shifted to contaminants in the soil, as well as in the buildings that have already or will soon come down.

Looks like a nice job overall, that hospital looks pretty big.

Too bad the link doesn't have a video of the implosion, kinda weird that the station didn't stick around for the "blast" or at least have a video of it falling.
