\t\t\t\t\"\"<\/a>In recent years, the word \u201cremediation\u201d has been used by Forrest City often as a reason for slow development or lack of development. It has become a buzz word for organizations such as The Front Porch, Stapleton Moms, and SUN when explaining why something has not been completed by Forrest City. At any community forum you will hear that word thrown out by Forrest City PR as a response to almost any question. The Stapletonion wanted to know, has the word completely lost its meaning?\n\nAccording to Forrest City President Phil Dargossi, the word still has meaning. \u201cWe use it to explain what is going on at certain projects that have not yet begun, or are slow on completion,\u201d says Dargossi. \u201cPut simply, it means \u2018to remediate\u2019 or \u2018to have one remediate.\u2019\u201d Certainly, an organization which uses the word so readily would be able to easily and correctly define the word.\nAccording to dictionary.com, remediation has the following meaning: re\u00b7me\u00b7di\u00b7a\u00b7tion: noun. \u201cReason Forrest City gives when something is not completed according to original plan.\u201d Prior to 1999, the definition was \u201cthe correction of something bad or defective\u201d however, according to dictionary.com, it is outdated and rarely used.\nAt this point, Forrest City has no plans to change the way it uses the word. \u201cIt is so much easier than apologizing or explaining to people why we changed the direction we were going,\u201d says Dargossi. \u201cWe will continue to train our employees to answer tough questions with a single word: remediation.\u201d ]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
