River.
Officials in the southern Indiana town of Clarksville are hoping to transform the factory site into a commercial
area, possibly with stores, offices, motels and condominiums.
Town Council President Greg Isgrigg declined to identify
the potential developer, which he said had encountered money issues.
The factory is known for its landmark 40-foot-diameter
clock and was closed by Colgate-Palmolive in 2007 after more than 80 years. It is now owned by New York-based Active International.
Company senior vice president Andreas Kissel says it received proposals on the site last year but interest declined
amid the recession.
