Plant (Continued from page 17) ing has replaced what was once known as a brownfield site the abandoned carcass of an industrial wasteland. Mary Lewin, a resident of nearby Squirrel Hill who headed Citizens Helping Our Community (CHOC) said it is an ideal example of what Pittsburgh can do with the LTV site.

She also would like to see some of the area left for public river access or parkland. About 40 members of CHOC were successful in scuttling efforts to designate the site a Keystone Opportunity Zone, a tax-free area that invited industrial use and spurred talk of a new coke plant owned by Sun Oil Co. "Coke is one of the dirtiest types of manufacturing," Lewin said. "I think that this is a real victory for the people of this community." The city is negotiating with LTV to acquire the property, but LTV spokesman Mark Tomasch said no details would be released unless a deal is struck. First, the property must be evaluated for environmental contamination.

"They weren't supposed to smoke," Dennis Cagney, 53, said of the stacks. He worked for LTV for 35 years and was put in charge of stacks PI and P2 in the 1980s. He was laid off when the plant shut down in spring 1998. "People wanted the air cleaner and we gave it a good shot," he said. "A lot of jobs were created because of it, mine for one.

But somewhere it got added to the coke cost and that made the product more expensive. That's what killed us.".
