Plans for First State Crossing have evolved significantly since ELT announced plans to purchase and assume environmental liabilities at the former Evraz steel mill in 2015. CDC's latest concept includes 3.75 million square feet of new construction, breaking down to 2.09 million for residential (620 townhomes and 576 apartments), 844,000 for offices, 370,000 for industrial, 275,000 for office-industrial, 125,000 for a hotel (120 rooms) and 47,000 for retail.

There is also a new rail station in the works, and the retrofit of an existing building to provide substance-abuse treatment services.
 
Brett Saddler, executive director of the Claymont Renaissance Development Corp., believes First State Crossing offers "the largest economic development impact" of any project now under way in the state. 
 
Additionally, a new train station, built on 15 acres donated by CDC, "changes the whole dynamic of what the steel mill site will be," Saddler said, making it attractive to commuters, particularly those working in Pennsylvania. 



Catalyst for Redevelopment: ELT
Without the transfer of environmental liabilities, the Claymont Steel Mill was at risk to remain in a protracted state of decay and economic distress. Environmental Liability Transfer, Inc (ELT) was able to assume the liabilities and risks associated with the distressed asset, which in turn created a framework for accelerated cleanup and redevelopment. With the environmental condition quantified and effectively managed, the new owner/developer CDC was able to confidently invest into the site's redevelopment.
