Ruis going full steam ahead on CFAC property
Aluminum City looking back to the west. The land in the foreground would be the first phase of a residential development of former CFAC lands, developer Mick Ruis said last week.
Developer Mick Ruis said he’s already been hosting potential businesses interested in developing at least part of the former Columbia Falls Aluminum Co. site.
Ruis said companies that host server farms for artificial intelligence have shown an interest and he also wants to see manufacturing businesses on the site as well, he told the CFAC liaison panel last week.
Ruis earlier this month purchased about 2,200 acres of the former aluminum plant property from parent company Glencore. Glencore retains ownership of the landfills at the site, where the Superfund cleanup process is expected to begin in the next few years.
