Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) Secretary Patrick McDonnell and local officials today visited Crazy Aaron’s Putty World in Norristown, PA to celebrate the remediation, redevelopment, and revitalization of an area brownfield.

Crazy Aaron’s Putty World entered DEP’s Land Recycling Program in 2017 and worked quickly to conduct soil sampling and remove historic underground storage tanks before moving its headquarters and operations to the site, according to a press release submitted by the governor’s office.
