Remediation must be completed before developers RD Management and BF Orangetown LLC can build a facility at 5 Greenbush Road in Orangeburg, NY, behind Lowes on Route 303. The project will put up a two-story, 118,323-square-foot, self-storage, multi-tenant and flex-warehouse facility on 5.84 acres. The first floor will have about 64,000 square feet plus a 3,700-square-foot lobby. The second floor will have a 48,000-square-foot area for self-storage.
Variances and site plans were approved several years ago and first, an environmental cleanup, supervised by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has to get done, and a Certificate of Completion must be issued. The contamination is there because it was the former home of Orangeburg Pipe. Remediation will take about 15 months. Source: Rockland County Business Journal

The Will County Board approved a self-storage facility on 32 acres of vacant farmland in Homer Township, IL. But the village of Homer Glen wants to keep the land in a planning area. Peter and Amy Katowicz want to open a second Illinois location in the 15300 block of 59th Street between Gougar and Cedar roads. It would have units to rent plus boat/RV storage space. Peter Katowicz said he plans to donate 10 acres in the back of his property to the Forest Preserve District of Will County, which abuts the proposed storage site. Homer Glen officials object because they would like to have input on developing the 159th street corridor. Source: Chicago Tribune
