Ithaca Factory Becomes Condominiums
Posted by Stan under Uncategorized
“As Ithaca continues to grapple with the realities of a history filled with heavy, often irresponsible industry, property owner Wally Diehl, who heads Fall Creek Redevelopment L.L.C., and developer Frost Travis have come up with a plan to reshape and revitalize one of Ithaca’s most infamous environmental disasters.
“When I first moved back into town, I saw the gun factory and I just thought it was a real shame that it wasn’t in productive use of some kind,” Travis said. “My initial thought was ‘Jeez, somebody ought to turn that into loft condominiums.”"
It might be a nice idea, but I can’t imagine too many people lining up to live in a super fund cleanup site that was once the site of uranium testing.
