STEDDICK HOTEL

A while back (Sept. 15/10) I wrote about the gasoline contamination found at the corner of Snyder & Church St. in regards to the roads and sewer work done this past summer and fall. I also suggested that a little birdy told me to expect the same down the road in regards to the Steddick Hotel. Well a little environmental birdy is whistling the same tune indeed. It seems that although everyone has known for years that the contamination came from old gas tanks located next door (Beckers) apparently the Steddick was torn down and the contaminated soil was not removed. It seems as if we never learn.
