Property Highlights

The City of Ottumwa partnered with Ottumwa Progress Incorporated, Main Street Ottumwa, Indian Hills Community College, the Iowa State University Extension Office and the Ottumwa Farmer�s Market in creating the �Ottumwa Community Marketplace� on the site and an adjacent property. The 1.29 million project involved rehabilitating the existing structure in order to bring together consumers, producers and entrepreneurs in a regional economic development engine. The �Ottumwa Community Marketplace� features a traditional farmers market while also incorporating two business incubators to facilitate the formalization of local area businesses. Further, the building serves as a model of sustainability at the facility level and on a regional scale as it achieved LEED certification. More importantly, the �Ottumwa Community Marketplace� provides an opportunity to educate residents on healthly food choices and to encourage the purchase of locally-grown produce. Phase II was completed with Phase II for adjacent 331 Main Street site since both properties had the same Recognized Environmental Conditions. Cost of the Phase II was split between the two properties. Mercury contamination in soil was slightly above the statewide standard but the risk calculations were acceptable for the future site use. Petroleum contamination found in SB3 may be from an off-site source. A supplimental Assessment has been completed. Source of impact under evaluation along with the need for an IC. Asbestos and lead-based paint will need to be address as part of redevelopment. Note: All redevelopment funding leveraged for the project spanning 327/331 East Main Street is included within the 331 East Main Street Property Profile Form.

Former Use: This blighted and underutilized site is located in Ottumwa�s central business district CBD. The building formerly served as a community gathering place during the late 1800s to mid-1990s when it was an opera house. However, the building has since fallen into a state of disrepair after its conversion into a series of re-uses including a bus garage, night club and currently general storage.
