History:
The 13.41-acre site once housed the Armor Plating Plant, built in 1941 with the mission of making plates for tanks in World War II. The 200,000-square-foot building remained open through the 1970s and was officially put out of commission in 1983. Over the last two-plus decades, the property deteriorated. There were broken windows, graffiti, asbestos and trash. The land is adjacent to planned recreational trails and a low-speed access road. The Army Corps demolished the building in 2004.
