Des Moines will take ownership of Dico, the city’s most notorious toxic site
Des Moines Register: The city of Des Moines announced Thursday it will take ownership of its most notorious toxic site, paving the way for redevelopment of a prime piece of real estate — a downtown gateway that has sat vacant for 25 years. The site of the former Dico Inc. manufacturing plant has been tied up in legal battles for decades. Its owners have been fighting against millions of dollars in fines the Environmental Protection Agency levied against them for not complying with pollution cleanup orders.
