He said he is exploring selling a small triangular township parcel (referred to in the meeting as "the triangle") and noted that the parcel requirescleanup work that could take years. Norton gave a cost estimate for remediation of roughly $400,000 to $600,000 and asked Township Attorney Rich Wenner to review the property and the plan for sale or other disposition.
