OFF PALM BAY BLVD
The site is located in Palm Bay in east-central Florida, about three miles from the Atlantic Ocean. The site occupies approximately 310 acres along the north and south sides of Palm Bay Road. The site includes the 170-acre Harris Corporation property (south of Palm Bay Road) and the 140-acre Intersil Corporation property (north of Palm Bay Road). Undeveloped land, residential neighborhoods, office buildings, a park and the City of Palm Bay’s water treatment plant border the site. The nearest homes are located over a thousand feet from the site boundary. An electronics company supporting the aerospace industry operated at the site in the 1950s and 1960s. Harris Corporation acquired the company in 1967 and has been operating in Palm Bay since then. With the exception of the Former Building 100 Area, all the company's expansion efforts have been onto undeveloped property. Two previous manufacturing firms operated at the Former Building 100 Area and used it for painting operations, metal operations and barrel storage. Intersil Corporation later acquired the portion of the facility located north of Palm Bay Road from Harris Corporation. Harris Government Communications Systems Division is located south of Palm Bay Road. In 1987, EPA listed the site on the NPL. Both the Harris and Intersil corporations continue to manufacture equipment on site. Intersil Corporation also leases portions of its property for use by other companies.
