efforts to procure funding for the activities for which Livable Communities Act Tax Base

representation is based on the following reasons and supporting facts:
Due to the existence of soil contaminants, including heavy metals, arsenic, mercury and
lead, and the existence of asbestos materials within the existing structures, the clean-up
costs are significant.
