The orbital welding technique was actually invented in excess of 50 years ago. In recent years the technology and tools have become quite affordable.

I would imagine the County would look at selling the property. Eight years ago they sunk $3.6 million of debt money into it, and their only return on investment has probably been a reduction in the construction contract cost, since they provided staging space to the contractor, which otherwise the contractor would have had to procure themselves. I would hope the contractor was paying the utilities while they occupied it. Since they say there are no plans for the space, I would imagine it was purchased for the sole reason of leasing it during the construction project. FWIW, its current assessment is just under $3.5 million, down from previous years.

Clearly no one on this thread has ever played Sim City… or if they did they built a bunch of dog parks and not enough industry and power plants. = )

Yup, a great place! They just could use a better name and signage, but a name change would put them lower down the list in the Phone Book.

B-I-N-G-O! Keep around some of what made Arlington into what it is! Without these industrial areas, Arlington would not have had the base to become what it is. It is our history!!!!

The building is solid as they come and of a classic design. The wireing and plumbing are probably in need of replacement, but keep the bones and skin of the place, PLEASE!

It is not unsightly, it is industrial! I hope that some sort of real industry returns to the area, keep to the roots of that stretch of Four Mile Run! Even if it is just a Marble Countertop/Stone Cutter Shop for all of us redoing our kitchens and patios! As long as it is not a dog park or more condos……
