Environment - More on: Cleanup of Angola's former Dana site
Here is the background on the issuing involving cleanup of Angola's former Dana site. Today WLKI Angola reports:
A proposed clean up of the former Dana-Weatherhead site could begin to move forward tomorrow as both the Steuben County Commissioners and Angola City Council are scheduled to take up the matter. Both boards normally meet on the third Monday of the month but with today being the federal Martin Luther King holiday, the Commissioners and the City Council will hold their meetings tomorrow. County Commission Chair Mayo Sanders motioned for the county to commint $1 million to the clean up during a special meeting on January 7th but that motion died for lack of a second. Sanders is optimistic there will be a different outcome tomorrow. Although a sharp division was apparent when the Steuben County Council discussed the issue last week, Sanders thinks a majority of them will back the Commissioners if the funding commintment is approved. Meanwhile, the Angola City Council is scheduled to discuss funding the I.D.E.M. remediation plan for the site tomorrow night which could lead to a vote on the citys financial commintment for the clean up.
