 Overview
 Description
The Edgewood Site is located on the east side of South Roberts Road near the intersection of Talcott Street in an industrial/residential setting. The site includes a large warehouse, formerly part of a larger complex once operated by American Locomotive Company (ALCO). ALCO manufactured locomotives at this complex from 1910 until 1930, at which time operations were converted to manufacturing process equipment such as heat exchangers and tunnel shields. During and after World War II, manufacturing operations at the plant were expanded to include military equipment. Following the war, ALCO was contracted by the Atomic Energy Commission to manufacture nuclear reactor components.

ALCO closed the Dunkirk plant in 1963. The site was later occupied by other manufactures of heat exchanger tubes and wood pallets, crates and boxes. The main building currently on site was also once used for the warehousing of packaging supplies and equipment from Fieldbrook Farms Dairy facility. Since approximately 1997, the warehouse also accommodated a few small businesses: a limousine company, a spray-on truck bed liner and a home improvement company. The buildings are currently vacant and owned by Chautauqua County.

In the past, the project site also contained another building that housed the facility power plant, a repair shop, a development area for experimental equipment and the plant hospital. That building was demolished in 1988. A second smaller building, presently vacant, is located near the northeastern corner of the property. It appears to be a former scale house associated with the rail access to the industrial complex.
