Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Posted at: 05/13/2013 12:57 AM By: Steve Flamisch

WATERVLIET --Before a demolition crew takes its third swipe at the last standing remnant of the former St. Patrick's Church, close to 100 people crowded the sidewalk in front of the property Sunday for a unique farewell.

In a twist on the traditional candlelight vigil, they held a flashlight vigil aiming beams of light at the 137-foot bell tower that twice resisted the pull of steel cables meant to topple it last week.

I was here with a flashlight the other night and I noticed you could really light it up, Jim Di Seve, a documentary filmmaker from Troy, told NewsChannel 13. I mentioned it to a few people, and people said lets all come with flashlights.

Di Seve, who is chronicling the former churchs demolition and its effect on the community, said a part of the citys heritage is being lost.

Theyre tearing down a pillar of the community, he said. You can feel the energy here, and you can feel the resistance from the building.

Onlookers cheered when the cables being used to pull down the bell tower snapped Thursday and again Friday. Some called it divine intervention. Demolition efforts are expected to resume this week.

Our main concern has been, and remains, to do this work safely and with as little impact as possible to the surrounding community, the developer, Nigro Companies, said in a statement last week. This is why the pace of the work has been deliberate and step-wise and why we have used exclusively mechanical means to carry it out.

When the Roman Catholic Diocese of Albany closed the church and sold the property to Nigro, the diocese said the building was physically deteriorating and required $4 million to repair. The developer is planning to build a new Price Chopper supermarket in its place.

The demolition, more than three years in the making, will proceed with the help of a $1 million grant from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality.

Washtenaw County Brownfield Redevelopment coordinator Nathan Voght said in a press release that activity at the site is scheduled to begin this week. After the buildings and parking lots are torn down, environmental remediation work will need to be completed to ensure that the property can be safely re-used. Voght said the entire process is scheduled to be completed by the end of July.

Once we finish the demolition theres soil remediation, site restoration, and grading it back to a relatively flat level, he said in an interview Monday morning.

That would wrap up the grant work that the county is involved in, and then the property would be solely the developers responsibility.

The primary contractor for the demolition is Wayne-based Environmental Quality Company. The company has two contracts, one with the county for the grant-funded work, and the other with developer Craig Schubiner through holding company PSAA LLC to do clean-up work that the MEDQ deemed to be the responsibility of the sites owner.

Weve been ready to go with our contract, but we have had to wait until the developer had his ducks in a row to begin the demolition, Voght said.

Hes responsible for the core contaminated area, about 880 tons of soil, and then the grant pays for anything beyond that up to 2,500 tons of soil.

Washtenaw County first secured the $1 million grant in 2012 to assist with the demolition of the property.
