ELKHART Its been in the works for years.

Now, demolition work has finally started on a huge vacant factory on Elkharts north side.

In recent years, the complex started to fall apart becoming a safety concern.

Then, there was a fire.

Neighbors say the demolition is an answer to their prayers.

This is the day, and we are finally here, and we are finally excited about, said Kristen Senne, who lives by the old Walter Piano building and is with the North Riverside Neighborhood Association.

Sennes group has been keeping an eye on the Walter Building property for several years.

We started making calls, several neighbors, including myself, have been calling the city for a number of years about it, Senne said. The factory, as its deterioriated, has contributed to the blighting of the neighborhood.

Elkhart officials were well aware of neighbors concerns and after legal wrangling with the buildings owner, are finally tearing down the 175,000 square foot structure.

Weve been looking at the site for a couple, three years, trying to figure out how to get the thing down, said city Brownfields Coordinator Denny Correl. The absentee owner issue was a real problem, but we finally made it to this point.

Demolition order for Tunbridge Wells grotspot cinema

About 70 people braved a snowstorm Wednesday evening to hear updates on the 9th and Colorado redevelopment project, including a partial schedule for remediation and demolition of buildings.

During a public meeting of the Colorado Boulevard Healthcare District at Hill Middle School, residents were briefed on progress in redeveloping the old University of Colorado Hospital site.

The 28-acre site originally was to be anchored by a Walmart a decision that rankled neighbors and ultimately led to Walmart's withdrawal from the project last October.

About six weeks later, Fuqua Development began negotiating to have a King Soopers as the new anchor, which met with more neighborhood approval.

"We are continuing very diligently in working on a full design on this site and working closely with King Soopers," said Marcus Pachner, a consultant for Fuqua Development.

Pachner said King Soopers still is working with its architects and engineers to design a store that meets the overall guidelines for the project, which will include an upscale apartment building, senior housing, a hotel and retail stores.

"The moment we have the final package put together," Pachner said, "City Council members and the mayor's office have indicated they want to hold a larger community meeting to talk about both the financial structure of the deal and the overall site plan."

That meeting is expected to be held within three months.

CU already has done asbestos abatement in about 80 percent of the buildings on the site, Pachner said. Remediation will begin on the old power plant on the east side of the site on March 1, and demolition of that structure will start about March 15.

Three other buildings in the area also will be razed a child day-care center, the JFK building and a cooling tower. Precast panels from the day-care center, designed by noted Denver architect Victor Hornbein, will be salvaged.

The mess left behind after a fire that happened months ago at the Sharon Place Shopping Center in Newburgh is soon to be cleaned up.

Demolition is set to begin Wednesday at the shopping center near the intersection of Sharon Road and State Road.

Residents and nearby businesses have been looking at the mess for months and are glad to hear progress is being made to clear all of this debris.

An overnight fire last November destroyed the building and all of the businesses inside. Business owners were allowed in the next day to gather what they could and later it was blocked off to everyone.

Some of the businesses have relocated, others are hoping to re-open in the same location, and for some the fire put them out of business.

We are told the owner plans to rebuild.
