About the property
The subject property was formerly occupied by a truck maintenance facility for the Consolidated Freightways Trucking company, previously known as Con-way Freight. In addition to the subject property, the company also occupied the adjacent parcel to the west. The truck maintenance facility was demolished in 2020. Since then, the site has largely remained vacant. The property was acquired by PP&R in August 2025. The bureau is now seeking EPA grant funds for remediation on the site to address environmental contamination resulting from historic uses as well as to address elevated concentrations of naturally occurring arsenic in the soil.
