WARREN BDM Warren Steel Holdings LLC, which owns the land where the old Republic Steel plant once sat, wants to donate it to the Western Reserve Port Authority.
“We just need to be comfortable with how much property is involved. We need to be comfortable that we are able to take care of whatever potential liabilities that could come up with this,” port authority CEO John Moliterno said.
“We’re not sure if there are any yet, but that is what we are working on right now,” he said.
On Wednesday, the port authority board authorized Moliterno to negotiate an agreement with BDM for the port authority to accept the nearly 1,000-acre plot that stretches nearly 2 miles along Pine Avenue SE and includes portions of Warren, Niles, Howland and Warren Township.
