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.
They’ve pulled out a ton from the inside. At one point there was a pile up to the top window. I imagine that’s part of the process for mold/asbestos removal.
Right those buildings are so old and (it’s the DMV, let’s be real here) neglected that they’re literally cleaning up decades and decades of ancient hazardous materials from inside lol - I never assumed this would be a quick, easy job
