Birmingham, Ala. (WIAT) - Families pile into a crowded school gym at Hudson K-8 School Monday evening, to hear news some believe could change their lives. The federal Superfund program is taking over testing of contamination and cleanup.

What they're learning about here today could sit any family back on their heals. After months of reporting on arsenic in the soil, cleanup, cancers, asthmas, and lawsuits, the federal government says they will take over the job, and see how far and wide this contamination problem is. One thing that is strongly being stressed is that Superfund - a government funded clean up program - is and will work continuously with community. It's community driven.

Ken Lass and Sherri Jackson were at tonight's meeting. Watch the video links posted to learn the latest developments.
