After a third attempt, Portsmouth City Council approves storage facility on formerly contaminated superfund site

SAFStor Real Estate Co. has tried since 2021 to gain the green light to place a three-story, 103,350-square-foot storage facility with nearly 800 storage units at 0 Effingham St. Due to past lead contamination, it’s an Environmental Protection Agency superfund site, which restricts how the land can be used.
