Business looking at ex-Casting location

Decatur Daily Democrat:

Good news and better news were delivered on Monday to the Adams County commissioners about the former Decatur Casting site on Dayton Ave.

Larry Macklin, executive director of the Adams County Economic Development Corp. and the person who has been overseeing the cleanup and the marketing of the old Casting area, told the commissioners that the most recent technical analysis of the location found it does not have materials that pose a threat to humans or the environment.

He also said a business is seriously considering that 6.8-acre site for development, since it is on a rail line and has been zoned for industrial use. "A party is really interested in the site" and another firm is likewise looking at it," Macklin said.
