The land was used for farming prior to being purchased by the U.S. Steel Corporation. Dow purchased the land for $11
million in 1989 as an environmental buffer zone. In the ‘70’s, and again when Dow purchased this property, developers
were proposing residential/commercial projects that would have put significant population density close to the plant.
