Additional Property Attributes

The Clinton Commerce Center property is a former industrial site located in a bend of the Assunpink Creek that flows through the City of Trenton to the Delaware River. The 9.5-acre site was developed prior to 1851 and was utilized for the manufacture of rubber products and automobile tires by Star Rubber and several successor companies including Empire Rubber, Murray Rubber, and Thiokol Rubber and Chemical Company, which ceased operations in 1978. After manufacturing operations were discontinued, the existing buildings were redeveloped into an industrial park and leased to individual firms mostly providing auto-related services and repair, but including some retail and wholesale operations as well as light industrial usage (e.g. pallet manufacture and repair, carpentry shop, metal recycling) and equipment storage. The site experienced significant flooding in 1999 after Hurricane Floyd and sustained major damage to its electrical and water supply systems which resulted in its abandonment. As the site is in a floodplain, industrial reuses were no longer practical and the City took possession of the vacant property in September 2005. In 2009-2010 the City demolished the majority of the buildings on the site and removed most of the concrete and asphalt cover. During the demolition, numerous tanks were discovered and removed. Pre-remedial environmental investigation conducted at the site in 2010 indicated the presence of elevated concentrations of metals and base neutral compounds in soil at levels consistent with historic fill found in the Trenton area. Other �hot spot� areas containing elevated concentrations of lead, thallium and PCBs were also identified. Remediation required targeted hot spot removals and a soil cap over the entire site. The Clinton Commerce Center property is part of the Assunpink Creek Greenway Project, a major City effort to acquire, assess, and remediate 13 properties along the waterway and transform them into 99 linear acres of urban parks, trails, and active recreational fields. The Assunpink Creek Greenway will increase open space and create a link between neighborhoods, places of work and recreation and historic sites.
