A Tampa judge has ruled a lawsuit brought versus defense contractor Raytheon a class-action according to a story on the Tampa Tribune website. The lawsuit was filed by a group of homeowners who lived near the now-vacant Raytheon plant in St. Petersburg. They claim underground waste from the plant has caused a decreased value on nearly 1,400 privately owned parcels of land.
The ruling will allow hundreds of residents to now file for damages against the giant defense contractor. Raytheon is in the midst of a 25-year clean-up in the area but residents claim there are 1,350 land parcels that have been tainted with cancer-causing chemicals.
