Home Builder Developer - Interior Renovation and Design

Today, the city of Cordova in Walker County will begin demolition on their downtown district. This demolition comes nearly two years after the buildings were destroyed by a tornado outbreak.

On April 27, 2011, the city of Cordova was hit twice by tornadoes once in the morning and again that evening. The tornadoes destroyed many home as well as the city's downtown district. This section housed most of the community's businesses, including the City Hall.

Since the tornado outbreak of April 27, 2011, Cordova's downtown district has sat vacant surrounded by storm debris. City leaders say a delay in funding from the Federal government is to blame for the slow progress in the area.

Back in January, nearly 21 months after tornadoes devastated the area, Cordova received the approval they needed to move forward with rebuilding their downtown district. State and local leaders said Federal officials were slow to decide on funding because of the area's historical significance.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will cover 90% of the cost of the demolition project. The state and city will share the remaining cost.

Demolition is set to begin this morning at 9:00. Cordova Mayor, Jack Scott, says the process should take 60 days to complete.

PARKERSBURG - The demolition of the former Mid-Ohio Valley Transit Authority bus garage on First Street began over the weekend, officials said.

The MOVTA approved the sale of the outdated garage to Jim McCutcheon, highest bidder, for $155,000 last November. The garage at 213 First St. is about two blocks from where the transit authority originally began and the site will become a parking lot, officials said.

McCutcheon said the facility will be a much better site for people to see when driving into Parkersburg. He said work for the demolition was coming along pretty well and workers hope to finish in another week and a half.

"We're going to light it and make it attractive," McCutcheon said of the property. "It's coming good."

Tim Thomas, MOVTA general manager, said the garage is no longer affiliated with the transit authority, and the organization will continue to look for a new property to use for bus maintenance.

Thomas had discussed with MOVTA board members the building, containing asbestos among other environmental safety concerns, would have been a risk to the organization to renovate or properly demolish. Transit officials had authorized the sale, and Thomas had listed the property, taking the highest bidder.

Mayor Bob Newell said the project is a good one for the city and for the Bureau of the Public Debt employees. He said Jim McCutcheon, co-owner of the Parkersburg Parking Facility, demolished the building to make room for Public Debt employees to park.

Newell said had the building been suitable for something the city would have reconsidered letting it be demolished. Since the building had environmental concerns and was in "pretty sore shape," he said, city officials thought the demolition of the building was best.

"Cleanup (of the building) was quite an undertaking," Newell said. "It had gotten to the point where (the building) was in too bad of shape for the transit to keep up with it."

Demolition of Shoppers Square, a 1960s era shopping mall in downtown Little Falls, began earlier this week. Part of a multi-million dollar project to renovate the building that housed the citys lone grocery store, sections of the structure will be demolished and rebuilt. Its going to be a good thing for the city, Mayor Robert Peters said during a telephone interview Tuesday afternoon. Its going to be an improvement to downtown. Among the planned improvements is construction of a modern 30,500 square foot Price Chopper supermarket on the western end of the facility. From what I have been told the project is moving along on schedule, which means everything is on track to open in late fall, said Peters. Of course that could change if the demolition or construction were to hit a snag. You never know what youll find when you start taking down old buildings, so hopefully everything will go smoothly. Plans also call for the eastern end of the facility to undergo renovations. The project is going to clean everything up, said Peters. Portions of the building will be brand new, while other portions will look new. Itll be a real positive when its done. The estimated cost of the project, which will create 20 full-time and 90 part-time jobs, is $6,459,149, according to Herkimer County Industrial Development Agency documents. The IDA last month approved a straight lease agreement to allow the IDA to hold nominal title to the property and offer Price Chopper Operating Company exemption from sales and mortgage recording taxes, as well as reduced property taxes. According to the agreement, Price Chopper Operating Company will receive $320,287 in financial assistance in the form of an 8.25 percent sales tax exemption. In this state and this economy, these types of incentives are quite necessary, IDA Executive Director Mark Feane previously, said. This project will create new jobs and a state-of-the-art grocery store. It represents a good investment in the city of Little Falls, he added.

Park City leaders recently granted the approval needed for nine restaurants to operate dining decks along Main Street this year.

The Park City Council OK'd leases with the restaurants that allow the decks to occupy public space along the street. There was a limited amount of discussion about the topic prior to the City Council vote. The leases were approved 4-0 with City Councilman Alex Butwinski absent.

The nine leases matches the number granted in 2012 and 2011. The restaurants granted leases this year are:

The dining decks are allowed to open on May 1. They must be taken down by Oct. 30. Each of the leases covers one year.

The restaurants will pay between $550 and $1,045 in lease fees depending on the size of the decks.

The leases with five of the restaurants -- Bistro 412, Flanagan's, Bandits' Grill & Bar, Shabu and 501 On Main -- will not be signed until a work schedule for Main Street improvements is finalized.

None of the decks will be required to come down for the Park City Kimball Arts Festival in early August.

Dining decks along Main Street debuted in the summer of 2010. Restaurateurs at the time saw the decks as attractions, saying that al fresco dining is something that would be popular. In the years since their debut, the dining decks have oftentimes been packed.

There was a limited amount of interest as the City Council approved the leases. Steve McComb, the owner of Cisero's and Bistro 412, told the elected officials it cost $5,000 per year in fees and to build and then dismantle a dining deck. He also mentioned that it is difficult to keep a deck open for lunch into the fall, when the crowds along Main Street typically thin.
