FLORENCE, S.C. The sound of twisted metal, falling bricks and excavators dumping building debris into waiting trucks is the current soundtrack in part of downtown as demolition on the Trust building site continues.
Crews with Wofford Demolition continue to raze structures near the historic Trust building. Inside the Trust, crews with Emerald, an environmental consulting and engineering firm, are performing asbestos abatement.
Florence City Manager Drew Griffin said abatement should conclude by the end of the month, and then the building will be re-inspected for asbestos before demolition. The West Evans Street and South Irby Street intersection to the edges of the Trust building on each street will be closed for three out of the four weeks of demolition.
Nobody can necessarily control a piece of debris 100 percent, Griffin said. The contractor and the (South Carolina) Department of Transportation said that it seemed to make more sense to close all the lanes even though the contractor is working from the interior of the lot.
Original plans had just one lane of traffic closed. Signs will direct motorists around the area.
In a building at the corner of West Evans and South Irby Streets, August Langley, who repairs demolished iPhones, iPads and Android cell phones, said the street closing will be a bit challenging to his year-old business.
Its kind of unfortunate, but you cant do much about. It its the growing pains of our future, Langley, owner of Smart Phone Repair, said. People find us because they need us, so well obviously have to be a bit more innovative and be on top of the changes.
Wofford won the demolition contract that included abatement costs from the city for $470,655. The city hopes demolition and clearing will be completed by July 1 so it can convey the land to Francis Marion University.
On Monday, FMU put out a request for qualifications for the design and construction of its $15.5 million medical and health sciences complex. In early September, FMU expects to have a shortlist of candidates. The request lists June 30, 2016, as the date the building should have its certificate of occupancy.

Trust demolition nears in downtown Florence

Duluth, MN (NNCNOW.com) --- Workers took a big bite in the demolition of the former KDLH Broadcast Center in Duluth on Tuesday.
The building must be demolished to make way for the new Maurice's headquarters.
Demolition is a six to eight week process which began about two weeks ago with McGough construction workers disconnecting utility and gas lines inside the building.
Maurice's spokespeople say backhoes with "munchers" are taking bites out of the concrete.quarters
The "munching" process will continue over the course of the next few weeks, eventually weakening the structure so it can be knocked down.
Demolition began with the KDLH studio building and will then move to the Palladio Building next door.
Spokespeople say the demolition process and construction of the new building will significantly benefit the area.
"We're going to be able to build for 100 plus new jobs that can come to town; there's 250 construction jobs as part of this project. This is one of the largest developments in downtown and commercial history, and I think it really helps revitalize the west end of downtown Duluth," said Laura Sieger of Maurice's.
Officials with Maurice's headquarters say demolition should not impact traffic to any great extent.

A petition calling for a stop to the proposed demolition of Ebenezer Chapel in Old Market, one of Bristol's most historic buildings, has been launched by residents and campaigners.
The petition is online and can be found here
The chapel, built in 1849 and the city's first Primitive Methodist chapel, is planned to be pulled down in the next two to three weeks.
Heritage campaigners have joined forces with residents in Old Market to launch a petition to raise public support for a stay of execution, allowing talks to take place with the landowner and Bristol City Council.
The group says the former Methodist Chapel is a key part of the area's history and heritage, as well as the gateway to the popular Bristol to Bath cycle path.
They want time to put forward new plans that save the building by incorporating it into any new development proposed for the site.
"Notwithstanding the wishes of local residents, the landowner wants to destroy this beautiful part of the history of Old Market," said Mariateresa Bucciante, a local resident and member of Bristol Civic Society.
"Bristol City Council says it is powerless to intervene and save this beautiful building - despite the thousands of pedestrians and cyclists which pass it each day.
"We are calling on the people of Bristol to support our campaign by signing our petition, which merely asks for the landowner reconsider his demolition plans. A new development on that site would be a good thing for the area, but it will be a far better development for the area if it incorporates the chapel as well."

El Paso and one of the largest state agencies may be headed to court over history, safety and progress.
The fight over a 100-year-old building that preservationists want to save and the Texas Department of Transportation wants to tear down become more intense Tuesday.
The El Paso City Council jumped into the fray and voted 5-0 during a special meeting on Tuesday to seek a temporary restraining order to delay the demolition of the Lincoln Center, 4001 Durazno St.
"The next step is they will file for a temporary restraining order that will buy us some time, maybe four or six days," City Council member Lily Limn said. "We know this is not a complete stop to it, but it buys us time."
Its not known when the court documents will be filed seeking the temporary restraining order.
The city called an "Emergency Special Meeting" after more than 20 protesters prevented construction workers from putting up a fence around the center on Tuesday.
Mayor Oscar Leeser said the meeting met the open meetings emergency requirements because of the eminent threat shown by the actions of TxDOT and the outcry from the community and state Sen. Jos Rodrguez, D-El Paso.
"The meeting was to stop the demolition of the Lincoln Center, they began to put the fence around it and we wanted to stop the demolition of the building," Leeser said. "Based on the statement from Senator Rodriguez, we felt it fell under the emergency status."
