Farmland plant eyed for cleanup and redevelopment
A large national environmental cleanup firm, TRC Companies, plans to bid for the vacant Farmland Industries fertilizer plant east of Lawrence. The 467 acre site, closed in 2001 amid bankruptcy turmoil, could attract developers once nitrogen spill issues are remediated. Tim Daugherty, ex-Farmland employee aiding the process, says city and county interest could unlock economic potential.
