“It’s an abandoned and vacant building and it’s suffered a lot of damage,” said Emily Crow, development director of Harrison Twp. “So it’s just been time for it to come down.”
Bladecutter’s Inc. completed the demolition. The project was funded by the Ohio Department of Development, which is managed through the Montgomery County Land Bank.
The demolition is expected to cost around $50,000 with the township paying 25%, said Crow.
The township doesn’t have any specific plans for the property, but is open to ideas to redevelop it.
“We don’t have a specific replacement for it yet,” Crow said. “However, we would be very open to working with partners to get something in here that will serve the community.”
