Givaudan Information

To clear up any information on the Givaudan site. The city has never owned, operated, or controlled the property. The construction project has been paused after doing additional environmental due diligence. We do not have direct answers to what the exact future plans for the site are. Those are best to be answered by the company, but the city remains committed to working with Givaudan or any company to maximize the best use for the site.
