French architects can draw up all the Packard Plant fantasies they want. Before Fernando Palazuelo can even think about rebuilding his factory, thousands of dumped tires, crumbled walls, and hazardous wastes scattered across the property must be removed.

Last we heard, Arte Express hopes to have the site cleared of hazardous debris by summer 2015.
