Does this mean someone else owns the bridge?

The optimist in me loves this and it just shows you how much good you can do with a relatively small amount of money.

The cynic in me imagines that, considering what these areas had on them once upon a time, it could very well take much, MUCH more money to rehabilitate the soil (think minor SuperFund site), and this is the cheaper option- not to mention the PR benefits.

The bridge was built by US Steel and was never publicly owned before now. I’d assume the county bought it from US Steel or whoever they sold it to when they closed the Homestead mill.
