Former coal-fired power generating facility that has recently been decommissioned. The former coal pile has been remediated and closed, and hazardous materials have been removed from the site.
Site Zoning
The site is divided into two zones – IH-2.5, H-70′ (Heavy Industrial) and AR (Agricultural Reserve). The Heavy Industrial zone permits various uses such as light/heavy manufacturing and production, freight movement, distribution, and storage facility. The Agricultural Reserve zone allows agriculture, farming, and single-unit living among other uses. Development under a base level of development called Standard Method of Development is permitted in both zones. Approval for a detailed Site Plan may be required depending on the proposed use and development intensity.
