Is the NPDC site dangerous right now?
Parts of the site are dangerous. For example, old buildings that may be structurally unsound are not secured. These buildings have been subjected to incidents of vandalism and arson in recent years. Exposed asbestos piping and peeling lead paint are in areas that curiosity-seekers may be able to access. The best way to abate these hazards and protect the public health is with a thorough, prompt, professional cleanup. Note that the Village Elementary School property was thoroughly cleaned before the school was built. Children, teachers and staff are not in danger at school or on school property, including the playground.
