I'd say probably not likely. Although it would make a whole lot of sense for that steam to be diverted and used for district heating for all those warehouses nearby. Problem is someone needs to step up and act as a utility to distribute the heat. They probably should have built those buildings nearby with this in mind.

There's a lot of construction going on in that neck of the woods. I went for a ride around there last night since it wasn't raining. You can finally drive between Byrne Rd. and the incinerator without having to double back to Marine.
