Davidson's Legacy Of Asbestos Contamination And Distrust

/
An aerial photo of the Linden Mill, later the Carolina Asbestos Company, with smokestack, in downtown Davidson. Main Street and Davidson College Presbyterian Church are at the bottom. The photo is probably from the 1950s or 1960s.
Here s a familiar story in the Charlotte region: An old brick textile mill is turned into something hip a brewery, apartments or a food hall. It happens all the time, but attempts to redevelop a 130-year-old cotton mill in downtown Davidson have failed. The problem is cancer-causing asbestos. It s buried on the site, and it s been an environmental hazard to the historically Black neighborhood that surrounds the mill. ....

EPA To Remove Asbestos At 11 More Davidson Sites, Including Park

WFAE
Contractors for Charlotte Water remove asbestos-laden soil from Sloan Street in Davidson during a water main upgrade project in January.
The Environmental Protection Agency will be back in Davidson next week to start another round of asbestos cleanups, including a town park.
The EPA tested 136 properties on the town s historically African American West Side last summer and fall and found unsafe levels of asbestos at 11. The asbestos came from an old mill nearby that made asbestos from 1930 to about 1970.
Officials say waste asbestos was used as fill in yards and driveways and in the town s Roosevelt Wilson Park. It s a concern because if asbestos fibers become airborne and are inhaled, they can cause cancer and other lung diseases. ....

Asbestos At The Mill And In The Black Neighborhood Around It

WFAE
Ruby Houston, who lives across the street from the former Carolina Asbestos mill in Davidson, spoke at a community meeting in January 2020.
Asbestos contamination from an old factory in Davidson is not just an environmental concern on site. It s also a problem throughout the historically African American neighborhood nearby. So far, cleanups have cost the EPA at least $3 million. Today, in the second of our three-part series Asbestos Town, WFAE environmental reporter David Boraks looks at how Davidson is still dealing with the legacies of its asbestos-producing past, including long-simmering distrust from the Black community.
