Manchester: Victoria Lauber and her youngest son, Jake, stand in front of what they had hoped would be the new kitchen of their home on Pine Street. Their property is one of three that the town is seeking to buy because the land is contaminated from the town's old burn dump. The Laubers stopped construction on their remodel and have not worked in their yard since the property was tested last summer. Photo by Kate Glass/Gloucester Daily Times Tuesday, March 17, 2009
