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.

MT. VERNON Bids for the demolition of the former Horace Mann Grade School are expected to be sought.

The school was deeded to the city for $1, by District 80 Schools in 2002, after the consolidation into the Primary Center, J.L. Buford Intermediate Center and Casey Middle School. For a short time, the facility was used as a community center, was a meeting place for the Young Marines and has been used as a storage facility for the city.

Concerns with black mold forced the city to close the facility in 2009. Last year, an environmental report indicated not only black mold in the building, but friable asbestos as well.

Friable asbestos, according to the Environmental Protection Agency, is asbestos that is more easily released into the air and required specific abatement during demolition.

Funds for the demolition have been earmarked from the $36 million bond issue that was approved by the city council in September 2012. Last month, a surplus auction of city items was held in Woodlawn, with many of the items coming from the Horace Mann building, which has been emptied of items which were stored there.

According to City Manager Ron Neibert, District 80 has also been contacted to find out if there are any items the district would like salvaged from the property as historical mementos prior to demolition.

City plans call for the asbestos abatement, salvaging and demolition to happen, then the area will be returned to a green space.

If the council approves going out for bids during its meeting tonight, demolition could be expected sometime in March.

The council will also be hearing bid results for the Ninth Street streetscape program.

The council will meet tonight at 7 p.m. at the Rolland W. Lewis Community Building at Veterans Park.

LORAIN Demolition of part of the St. Joseph Community Center could take another step forward on Monday.

Lorain City Council will consider hiring a consultant who would plan asbestos removal and tear down of the oldest section of the St. Joseph hospital, 205 W. 20th St., which has frontage along Broadway.

The Community Development Department is recommending the city hire Hull & Associates Inc., of Toledo, to determine exactly what section would be demolished.

The exact area was not set because city staff and consultants must consider what section will remain standing and where utility lines, such as electric, gas and plumbing, will be connected to the building, said Doug Rangel, executive director of the Lorain Development Corp.

Unfortunately, its not quite as simple as just knocking down one building, cutting the lines and thats it, Rangel said.

The exact tear-down area likely will encompass the space known as buildings D and E, about 63,170 square feet of space in the block between Broadway and Livingston Avenue, according to plans.

The center would keep up the areas known as buildings A and C, which includes the five-story former hospital space. Existing tenants would fill the first floor of the remaining center and there would be additional space to grow, Rangel said.

The process will be a surgical demolition because the vacant, older section of the building is attached to a portion that still has tenants, Rangel said. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Lorain County Community College, the Lorain Sports Hall of Fame, the Lorain County Clerk of Courts Title Office and other tenants still remain in parts of the former hospital.

If the oldest area is demolished, it would affect the construction education division of LCCC, but likely would not affect the other sections where tenants are, Rangel said.

On the eve of abatement and demolition of the former Grace Hospital, neighbours are concerned about what it could mean to them.

Some fear asbestos particles flying around as demolition is being done.

Last week, Budget Environmental Disposal of Hamilton estimated there are several thousand tonnes of asbestos on the site.

Will Bartels, of Budget, ensured all demolition and removal will be done according to government regulations.

He also said his company is aware of the possibility that the site may be home to rodents and vermin.

Bartels said he will call in an animal removal company if necessary.

Some neighbours said when other buildings were demolished in the area, they were infested with rats.

Ted Foreman of Bob's Animal Removal said birds and cats are most likely to be the biggest problems. He said pigeons have moved into the the hospital and cats look for shelter and Grace would be a good place.

Foreman said skunks and rats are not likely a big problem because there is nothing to eat at the old hospital site.
