The old McCormick & Baxter creosote plant is a Superfund site but may eventually be the site of the proposed Portland Botanical Gardens in North Portland.

People are invited to comment through Jan. 30 on the proposal to convert the McCormick & Baxter Superfund site, a former creosote wood treating facility in North Portland, into educational botanical gardens open to the public on the east bank of the Willamette River.
