Fehr Graham is taking the lead in cleaning up the former Campbell Cleaners site in Mendota, Illinois. The City has secured nearly $1.3 million for this environmental remediation project. Environmental assessments completed in 2019 and 2020 confirmed the presence of hazardous chemicals, including volatile organic compounds and heavy metals related to former dry-cleaning operations.

Work is set to begin this year, making way for Mendota's Pavilion on Main.
