The Multistate Trust responsible for handling the clean-up and redevelopment of the former Kerr-McGee property in north Columbus has invited the public to share their ideas about how the site could be put to use in the future.
Greenfield Environmental Trust Group Director of Environmental Programs Lauri Gorton, speaking at a meeting of the Memphis Town Community Advisory Group at the Municipal Complex Tuesday night, promised to hold the first in a series of community meetings at 7 p.m. April 5 at Sim Scott Park.
"What that meeting is about is us listening to the community," Gorton said after Tuesday's meeting. "So that meeting is not designed for us to be giving the community information. That meeting is us asking the community, 'What do you want to see at the site? ... And what don't you want to see?'"
