Asbestos Controversy Hits Treasure Mountain

I scroll through the notification, the ink stark as oxidized copper, and note that Park City School District’s Brush‑up at Treasure Mountain Junior High has failed to meet SCRAP standards, leaving hazardous fibers in the Kearns Boulevard façade. Cripple Creek Consulting & Environmental offered a plan to sweep the dust, while Fresh Air Environmental Solutions, Inc. still argues that a waiver is justified by financial hardship. The Utah Division of Air Quality has issued a 10‑day advisory; the Summit County Health Department laces it in red, and EPA’s Superfund glove‑touch is already on the docket. Such a marred canvas erodes ROI faster than an over‑exposed atrium of stained glass. The project’s aesthetics—once a promise of native sandstone dormers—now mirrors the unpolished dread of asbestos containment. For a portfolio that draws high‑net worth buyers to the park, the lingering liability tips the scales toward exit. I recommend Sell.
