“We welcome the selection of Hilco Redevelopment Partners as the winning bidder for the refinery site," Mayor Kenney said in a statement Wednesday. “Though many challenges and years of work lie ahead, we are optimistic that the firm can develop this site in way that supports the core values in the city’s recent report summarizing the work of the Refinery Advisory Group: a diverse range of uses on the site that put the public’s safety as a top priority, has a more positive impact on the environment, engages meaningfully with the surrounding communities, and contributes significantly to the region’s economy.”
