Once an abandoned pesticide plant surrounded by several highly-contaminated acres of soil, the Troutman House has been cleaned and remodeled, and is now used as a Welcome Center and as office space for the Fort Valley Chamber of Commerce.
Public reuse of formerly contaminated properties refers to use of all or portion of a site by a local, county, or State governmental agency, or a non-profit organiztion. Reuse examples can include transporation (rail line, train station), libaries and schools, government buildings, and public infrastructure (roads, utilities, other public service).
