Old mill cleanup on Marysville agenda

A public meeting is scheduled for tonight regarding the Marysville cleanup plan for the former Crown Pacific Mill site on Ebey Slough.

The meeting is 7 p.m. at City Hall, 1049 State Ave.

The city is seeking a federal grant to clean up pollutants at the former mill site, at 60 State Ave. The mill closed in 2005 and the city of Marysville bought the site in 2006.

The city tore down the buildings and has used the land as a garbage operation site.

The site figures into to the city’s future plans for economic development and a trail system.
