Additional Property Attributes

A Phase I ESA was intiated under SMRPC's Brownfields Assessment Program, but funding ran out. The Phase I ESA and Phase II/HMI were completed using private funding sources.

Former Use: The Site is improved with one commercial building, occupying an approximate footprint of 5,663 square feet. The Site Building occupies the majority of the Site area, and a small paved area is located to the south of the Site Building along Center Street. The property is currently vacant and was formerly used as a furniture store for decades. After the furniture store closed in the 1990s, a few different shops have been located on the first floor. Most recently, it was a flower shop. The top two floors have not been used at all for at least 15 years, maybe longer. As a result of the long operational history of the property as a furniture store, hazardous chemicals including solvents, paints, and varnishes may have potentially been used in the repair and/or manufacturing of furniture. However, since other commercial stores/shops have long since replaced the furniture business, we don't anticipate significant contamination remaining from the furniture operations. Due to the age of the site building constructed approximately 110 years ago, the existing site building likely contains potential hazardous building materials including asbestos, lead-based paint, and/or other universal/hazardous wastes, that require assessment and possible abatement prior to site reuse. Paint is peeling in many places in the building, which likely contains lead, and asbestos-wrapped pipes may be located in the basement.
