Back To The Future: Old Main Street Sewer Plant Site Up For Sale
August 8, 2012
Thursday, the Emerald Coast Utilities Authority will uncover a “for sale” sign and lay sod to announce the 19-acre downtown site of the former Main Street Wastewater Treatment Plant (MSWWTP), is available for redevelopment opportunities.
ECUA board members, directors and other dignitaries will participate in the event that has been dubbed “Back to the Future”.
Originally designed and constructed in 1937, between Main and Government streets, the MSWWTP underwent numerous expansions in the 1970s and mid-1990s. The plant was officially taken off-line, Thursday, April 28, 2011, with waste water operations transferred to a new facility in Cantonment (pictured top).
One year after ceasing operations, “Old Stinky,” the name affectionately given to the facility by local media representatives, emerged as an environmental success story. Reuse of the MSWWTP property included a defined effort to reduce the environmental impact by reusing and recycling materials recovered during the demolition process.

Lease not sell.
Do your research before you buy, it could be a real crappy deal
