Description: Tell us in a few words what the item is
On January 16, 2006 the Martindale-Brightwood Environmental Justice Collaborative and their leaders from the neighborhood marched on the long vacant and abandoned Ertel Manufacturing Company factory. This rally on MLK day was a key factor in driving public municipal action to take action, acquire the contaminated site, demolish it, and clean up the abandoned site's massive soil and groundwater contamination. This ushered in a $21 million investment and fifty-three new jobs within two years.
