WATERLOO | Downtown boosters say they're concerned about the ongoing demolition of older buildings adjacent to the city's center.
Plans for a recently demolished Expo High School building site are still up in the air. For the Peoples Community Health Clinic, which owned the building, the demolition is a divestment of a potential liability a neglected building too expensive to bring up to modern code.
"By getting the building down, it's safer," saidChris Kemp, chief operating officer of Peoples Clinic. "It's no longer a deteriorating building."
For historic preservationists, the demolition at 927 Franklin is just another example of planning missteps that has hollowed out the city's core.
"We've already lost a significant number of historic buildings,"said Jeff Kurtz, executive director of Main Street Waterloo. Main Street Waterloo is affiliated with the national Main Street program, which emphasizes economic development through historic preservation.
The site will likely be vacant for some time.
"At this time, we don't have any plans with the property," said Kemp.
The demolition came a few months on the heels of demolition of the former WBM Marine building at 401-409 Franklin St. That site is home to a strip mall.
The Fourth Street corridor in downtown has rejuvenated mostly due to a stock of remaining historic buildings along the street, Kurtz said. That success hasn't spread to surrounding blocks mostly because the area has seen decades of demolition, he said.
"If you level too much of it, you're left with a smaller downtown surrounded by a doughnut of vacant lots," said David Deeds, controller for JSA Development. "I have yet to be shown a city that demolished its way to prosperity."

Preservationists decry Expo demolition
A demolition crew member who was killed in a Thursday night worksite accident in Vernon Hills has been identified as 25-year-old Patrick OReilly, who grew up in southwest suburban Palos Park.
OReilly, who was a graduate of Stagg High School and the University of Illinois, his family said, was killed when he was struck by falling concrete when part of a wall collapsed at a demolition site late Thursday at Westfield Hawthorn Mall in the northern suburb.
OReilly had earned a degree from U of I in agricultural and consumer economics in 2010 but, unable to find a job in his field, had been working in demolition, said his uncle, Dr. William OReilly.
His family is devastated by the tragedy, the uncle said.
He loved life, Dr. OReilly said. He liked to make people laugh.
The accident occurred at about 11 p.m. Thursday as a work crew was knocking down an exterior wall of a former Ruby Tuesday restaurant to make way for a new Maggianos Little Italy.
Workers were removing an outer layer of brick when concrete pieces fell from the top of the wall and hit three workers.
Countryside Fire Protection District ambulances arrived in three minutes, and workers had already removed the debris from the victims, Deputy Chief Chuck Smith said.
Paramedics took two of the workers, including OReilly, to Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville.
At this point there is no indication that this is other than a tragic accident, Vernon Hills Village Manger Michael Allison said in a press release. Our deepest condolences and prayers go out to the family of the deceased.

Palos Park native, 25, dies in mall demolition mishap
MICHIGAN CITY Demolition of the former Eastport school building is well underway. The site of the building, located on Michigan Boulevard, will be the location of the future Michigan City Police Department.
Mayor Ron Meer estimates the school building will be completely demolished by the end of January or during the first week or two of February.
Funding for this $220,000 demolition project, performed and overseen by Actin/TRI and Amereco Engineering, was approved by the Michigan City Common Council in November. At the mayors request, the agenda item was pushed ahead in the council due to break-ins and crime at the abandoned school.
Construction of the new police department has not yet been scheduled as the city is still looking into various funding options.
He added the city has been methodically moving through the process, which has been in the works for some time.
The first step the city accomplished was acquiring the school building from the MCAS district.
By state law, school districts have to keep abandoned buildings available for charter schools for four years, Meer said.
He credited local legislators Karen Tallian, Jim Arnold, Tom Dermody and Scott Pelath with getting involved to help get special legislation pushed through to transfer the school property to the city.
The project is now in phase two building demolition. The next step is to obtain funding for the new police facility, which will start with an architectural and design process.
However, the funding process will likely move slowly, according to the mayor, due to financial set-backs in the city stemming from county tax issues.

Demolition crew member Patrick J. O'Reilly died after concrete fell on him and two colleagues Thursday night while they worked outside Westfield Hawthorn shopping center in Vernon Hills, authorities said.

A man working as part of a demolition crew died hours after he was hit by concrete falling from a facade at Westfield Hawthorn shopping center in Vernon Hills, authorities said.
Lake County Coroner Thomas Rudd said Patrick J. O'Reilly, 25, of Palos Park, died from multiple crush injuries Friday morning at Advocate Condell Medical Center in Libertyville. O'Reilly suffered a crushed pelvis and internal bleeding in the late Thursday mishap, he said.
Vernon Hills police said O'Reilly and two co-workers were showered with concrete outside the former Ruby Tuesday restaurant. Late-night work has been occurring at the mall for extensive renovations.
Rescue personnel from the Countryside Fire Protection District were summoned at 11 p.m. and arrived in roughly three minutes, Deputy Chief Chuck Smith said. Ambulances brought O'Reilly and another worker, who sustained minor injuries, to nearby Condell.
In a statement, Vernon Hills Village Manager Michael Allison conveyed condolences and prayers to O'Reilly's family.
"At this point there is no indication that this is (anything) other than a tragic accident," Allison said.
Police said an initial investigation shows the demolition crew had been removing an outer layer of brick from an exterior wall of the mall when the concrete pieces fell from the roof line. Several sections of concrete struck the three workers at the construction site where Maggiano's Little Italy is replacing Ruby Tuesday at the mall's southwest entrance.
