Demolition/Construction schedule for Midtown

Yesterday city hall announced the demolition and construction schedule for the midtown site:


We will begin to see street and sidewalk closings and the arrival of construction vehicles on August 1st. By mid August they will have removed a significant chunk of the B. Forman building.

Midtown Phases

The city has an important decision to make by September 1st--whether or not to keep the skeletons of two alternate structures. The only two structures that are guaranteed to be recycled are the Midtown tower which will be converted into condos and apartments, and the Seneca building which will make up the bulk of PAETEC's new headquarters. The alternates are buildings which have the potential to be recycled as well, but lack commitments from private sector companies for reuse. The steel superstructures are valuable due to the rising price of steel and would save potential redevelopers time and money. If the city delays the decision on these structures beyond August 1st they will be charged a fee from their contractors.
