New Bern Ave - Former DMV site

No development planned but as I recall demolition was slated for fall (can’t remember where I heard that), I think this is all to expectations.

Sure 'nough:

We’re getting the site ready for future development. That includes:

Asbestos Abatement: Old buildings on the site may have materials that are unsafe, like asbestos. Specialized crews will safely remove and clean up anything harmful.
Demolition: Once the site is safe, we’ll begin tearing down the old buildings.
This early work is starting now with a fence installed around the property. The entire process should take about a year.

Also putting another notch in my ‘turns out wasn’t because of homeless people’ tally, keep racking em up.

Abestos abatement is a time-consuming process so getting that started sooner than later is wise. I hear it’s extremely common for that process to go over timeline estimates.

Looks like pre demolition asbestos removal began today. All the windows are open with these sticking out of several and numerous trucks in the parking lot.

Yup, the contractor put their sign up on the fence, too (Four Seasons Demolition out of Wilmington, apparently).
