Tax payers, not F&M, paying for clean up

By reading several letters-to-the editor in Lancaster Newspapers, it is apparent that the public has several misconceptions about F&M and the Railroad Relocation Project.

These misconceptions are: (1) the entire area that was formerly used as a city dump will be cleaned-up and (2) F&M is paying for all of the clean-up.

The facts are: Only part of the city dump is planned for clean-up and the taxpayer – not F&M - is paying for most of it.
