City Manager Bryan Langley told Community Impact that the buildings were chosen for demolition because they are in poor conditions and would require significant investment to repair.
"We do not believe that the buildings, in their current configuration, represent the highest and best use of the land in that area," Langley said.
The buildings slated for demolition are located at:
- 300 W. Center St., former animal control and evidence facility
- 103 S. Front St., former police department
- 111 S. Front St., former VFW building
The demolition process will cost a maximum total of $209,920.
- Demolition: $150,970
- Asbestos survey/removal: $24,700
- Granite removal alternate: $34,250
What’s next?
The city expects to begin demolition in mid-December and finish by the end of the year.
