ON MONDAY. Charlotte NPR station WFAE-FM will host a Community Conversation via Zoom Monday, Feb 1, at 7 p.m. on its series “Asbestos Town,” about contamination from an old cotton mill in downtown Davidson.

Developers have tried for years to redevelop the old Linden Mill without success. That’s because cancer-causing asbestos is buried on the site. “Asbestos Town” investigates the history of asbestos in Davidson, attempts to renovate the mill and how contamination in the historically Black neighborhood nearby has stirred up old tensions.
