City subsidizes decontamination – if done right
The city has been subsidizing to a surprising 90% the decontamination of land in the east end, where petrochemical industries have rendered a vast area too toxic to redevelop. However, almost nobody has been taking them up on it, because the work has only been paid for when completed to satisfaction. Now they’re moving to paying 50% in advance.

And the work will be never done… they will simply abscond with the money. (Remember that I said so, when it inevitably happens)

Yeah. I feel like that’s a good reason to not pay until the work is completed. (With “to satisfaction”, from Kate’s post being very important.)
