Demolition of Cetron factory underway in Geneva

GENEVA Demolition of the former Cetron factory building began Monday, city officials said.

Demolition is expected to take several weeks at the site of the former factory at 715 Hamilton St., Geneva. Richards Street will be closed from Hamilton to Peyton streets during construction hours, officials said.

According to the demolition permit, Property Recycling Service Corp of North Aurora is doing the work for $128,000. The property owner is the Marquette Companies of Naperville, also according to the permit.

The Marquette Companies proposed to build a five-story, multi-use building with a parking structure. The former Cetron factory had made light bulbs.

The complex would include 140 single-room units, 60 two-room units, 6,500 square feet of retail and restaurant space, and 300 parking spaces, officials said. The company had a formal concept review at a Committee of the Whole meeting in summer 2014, but no final action has been taken, officials said.
