It will be interesting to see what happens there. I can only imagine that a gas station will open there rather quickly. Because if it stays closed too long (12 months) the EPA will consider those tanks closed or abandoned and they will need to be pulled up, or cleaned out, filled with sand and the ground remediated to close it down. Very costly. The same thing was going to happen at the Moultonborough store. So I would almost (Tongue in cheek here...) Bet that there will be a gas station there again soon. If there is contamination in the ground you will see a lot of trucks and digging going on before anything else goes in there. Which is why I won't believe that the place sold for over a million dollars at an auction without someone doing some real good environmental testing of their own before taking the liability of a cleanup. When I see the tax bill for the sale I'll believe it.
