Also the money isn't coming from somewhere else, the contamination wasn't due to the company breaking any rules or not following regulations while they were in business, so I think it would be a difficult court battle for the liability of the clean up costs.
No private developer will pay for the remediation, they might offer some financial support but every cost benefit analysis would tell them to build somewhere else if the remediation costs are factored in.
