A two-block stretch of Witherspoon Street needs to be closed for possibly up to four days starting Jan. 16 so a demolition crew can safely take down the last remaining building at the old Princeton Hospital.

The Princeton Council is scheduled to be briefed Monday on the proposed closure, the recommendation of the Princeton Police and the municipal engineering department, and then decide whether to sign off on it or not. The site is being cleared for a future AvalonBay 280-unit residential development.

Assuming the council goes along with the recommendation, Witherspoon would be closed between Birch and Franklin avenues, said town engineer Robert V. Kiser on Wednesday. The closure, taking effect at 7 a.m. on Jan.16, would apply to pedestrian and motor vehicle traffic, he said.

At minimum, the closure would last for two days and up to four to allow the demolition of the former seven-story building to be completed.

Clearly, theyre going to have to close Witherspoon Street to do that, Mayor Liz Lempert said Wednesday.

Crews from AvalonBays demolition company have taken all the other buildings on the property and most of the last one, although their work is weather dependent. If temperatures drop too low, demolition is halted because a misting machine, used to control the spread of dust, cannot be used because the mist turns to snow, Mr. Kiser said.

During this week, there has been limited demolition at the site, Mr. Kiser said.

Also, there cannot be any demolition if there is a blizzard.

MERRILLVILLE | Work to prepare a property for a new Ashley Furniture location is expected to begin in coming months.

Demolition of the former Wickes Furniture building near U.S. 30 and Mississippi Street should start in the spring to make way for the new Ashley building, said Ryan Marovich, an engineer with DVG.

DVG represented Vequity Stonebridge Merrillville LLC, the developer of the property, during last week's Plan Commission workshop.

Plans are to have the Ashley Furniture location open in November, Marovich said.

The Plan Commission is in the midst of considering approving a one-lot subdivision request for the project, and several Merrillville officials have shown support during recent meetings in which the matter was discussed.

The commission already granted preliminary approval of the request last month, and the panel is expected to act on final a final subdivision request during its Jan. 20 meeting.

In addition to bringing Ashley Furniture to a busy corner of town, two restaurants could eventually locate at the site, town officials said.

As the Ashley Furniture project is being planned, Merrillville is looking at projects to address multiple roads in the commercial area in which the store will open.

The towns Redevelopment Commission recently approved an agreement with First Group Engineering, which will complete design and engineer work for the improvements.

One of the road projects sets outs to enhance the flow of traffic on 79th Avenue in the commercial area and improve access to businesses there.

Flagler County engineer Faith Alkhatib, far right, checks on the demolition progress at the former Memorial Hospital-Flagler, which is being renovated to house administrative offices for the sheriff.

BUNNELL A crew of 18 has been hustling to finish demolition work at the former Memorial Hospital-Flagler before renovation work begins to transform the building into administrative offices for the sheriff.

All that will be left are the walls and concrete slab (floors), said Faith Alkhatib, Flagler County engineer. When everything is done, it will be a new building inside and out.

The County Commission in August 2013 voted to buy the 60,000-square-foot building and 7 acres on Moody Boulevard in the heart of Bunnell for $1.23 million. Commissioner Charlie Ericksen cast the only dissenting vote.

The whole project should take about nine months to complete, Alkathib said.

County Administrator Craig Coffey wasnt quite as optimistic Thursday, but said work is expected to be completed by the end of 2015 or maybe before.

Construction manager Richard McInturff with CC Borden Construction said his crews have been putting in 40-hour weeks since the last week in December and have another two to three weeks of demolition work left. All of the asbestos was removed before the county bought the building.

We haul away four big Dumpsters full of debris every day, McInturff said as he led a visitor through the dark and dusty building. Were stripping everything down.

The main building and the former patient wings to the east are being separated into two buildings. No plans have been made as of yet for the wings.

As the demolition is completed, electricians and mechanical crews will come in to prep the building for the new construction, Alkhatib said. Temporary power was wired Thursday.
