The northern area of the property consists of sizeable wetlands and riparian lengths.
Services Provided
Blackstone conducted wetland delineation, oversaw hazardous materials abatement prior to demolition, and is currently assisting Flexsteel with redevelopment planning and completion of the Land Recycling Program for this large site. Following extensive soil and groundwater sampling, a Site Assessment Report is currently under review with the Iowa Department of Natural Resources and Risk Evaluations/Risk Assessments will be completed for individual portions of the property as buyers are identified in partnership with Gronen Redevelopment. No further action certificates will be sought for individual uses as Flexsteel promoted the property for redevelopment.
