     History
    Sariputta bought the facility on April 1 2005 from Money's Mushrooms Ltd. It had been operating since 1999. And closed around 2007.

    I did find out they had ongoing issues with the ability to maintain negative pressure within the facility. Therefore continued uncontrolled and untreated odour release most likely caused the place to be shut down.

    Update november 2015.
    Bworxx has been working on site this past summer, clearing the propriety of trees, bushes and garbage. I am not sure of the extent of the work they are doing. I believe the site is still for sale and they are trying to make the propriety more attractive to potential buyers.

    They also have a security on site now.
