Cleanup Concerns

LEVI PASCHER

GLOVERSVILLE - The glove and leather industries once brought great benefits to the local economy.

However, the decline of those industries has left several old, privately-owned buildings in the area that municipalities are loathe to take possession of due to the potential cost of cleaning up the site.

City Department of Public Works Director Kevin Jones said the fact Fulton County and other municipalities don't want to handle those buildings is a problem that needs to be addressed.
