Message: From GoLocalProv by Stephen Beale, GoLocalProv News Editor: The New York Times, Company has sold a contaminated Worcester Telegram and Gazette building to a local development agency, leaving taxpayers on the hook for potentially up to $1.1 million in cleanup costs. Before the sale, Telegram and Gazette publisher Bruce Gaultney publicly promised that the building was “not a brownfield.” But subsequent environmental tests uncovered extensive contamination from lead, asbestos, and other hazardous materials. The total cost of the cleanup: $1,115,000—and that’s just an estimate for now, according to Julie Holstrom, project manager at the New Garden Park, the nonprofit arm of the quasi-public Worcester Business Development Corporation that bought the property for $300,000 last fall. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/NY-Times-Corp-Leaves-Taxpayer-on-the-Hook-for-Contamination-in-Worcester
