Cornell turf records withheld
Zero Waste Ithaca says Cornell is hiding test results.
The city's Planning Board approved synthetic turf fields at Cornell's Meinig Fieldhouse in September 2024 on one condition: third-party PFAS testing before installation [Quelle: 607 News Now]. A Freedom of Information request filed a year later shows those test results, turf specs, and lab reports have not been released, raising questions about whether Cornell ever complied. Zero Waste Ithaca is now demanding full disclosure of product details and chain-of-custody documentation. The standoff spotlights a broader tension: how aggressively should the city enforce conditions once approvals are signed?
Expect pressure to mount on the Planning Board.
