It seems to me that would have been a great place to build a new complex and clean up an old, contaminated site.

From what I recall, CSAE wanted the city to clean up the site and "gift" them the land?

Sorry I just dont recall all the details...

A condensed version, please?
TLDR; It was way too expensive, the CRL and funding model were poorly thought-out, conflicted with West Village development plans and oh, you couldn't flush the toilets if both facilities were operating at the same time
