WILKES-BARRE Officials say a crumbling high-rise will finally be torn down this summer.

The lowest bidder for the demolition of the Hotel Sterling is from Luzerne County.

Wilkes-Barre officials say work to start tearing down the century-old hotel should start next month.

But the demolition will be slow process, all because of a bunch of birds.

Following years of delays from funding tie-ups and campaigns to save the historic building, Wilkes-Barre officials say the Hotel Sterling will finally be leveled this summer.

Brdaric Excavating of Luzerne outbid 13 other contractors, several from out of state. The owner says he can tear down the 14-story building for $419,000.

(Its) just an eyesore. Its just really ugly. It should just come down.

Maryanne Pickett says she wont miss the Hotel Sterling. Engineers said it was at risk of collapse in 2011 after the basement flooded during Tropical Storm Lee.

Since then, several streets and sidewalks have been blocked off.

Owners at the Center City Cafe say they havent seen loyal customers in months because of all of the detours downtown.

A public meeting about the upcoming demolition of the Lincoln Square apartments in Lakeland will be held from 6 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Simpson Park Community Room, 1725 Martin Luther King Jr. Ave.

The demolition is expected to begin later this month.

In May, Lakeland city commissioners voted to spend $836,000 to hire Lakeshore Environmental Contractors, a Birmingham, Ala., company, to demolish the apartments and remove any asbestos from the area.

The 120 concrete apartment units, which cover roughly five acres, were built in the 1920s.
