I figure the arena going there is dead, though I think it would have been a very good usage, financing arguments aside.
Completely agree. The best and cheapest way, according to CMLC analysis was to do a remediation method that's quite slow. The faster you go (e.g. to meet some sort of construction schedule for an arena/stadium) the more expensive it gets. I'd say start remediation now, do it the most cost effective way and then perhaps by then the area will be more ripe for development.
