Environmental contamination has troubled Whittier for decades, and the Buckner Building is only one part of a much larger picture. Last week's community meeting was proof of the progress the Brownfields program has made, and how important this work is to the community!
𝙉𝙊𝙍𝙏𝙀𝘾𝙃's Haley Michael, PE, and the City of Whittier,'s Shelby Carlson presented to the public on how the program came together, the progress made so far, and why continued community participation matters going forward. Residents had the chance to ask questions, share their own experiences, and learn more about the contamination still active in Whittier today, not just at the three priority sites, but anywhere throughout the city they had questions or concerns about.
Progress on an effort this substantial doesn't happen overnight. Real change takes a community willing to show up, and Whittier did.
