Demolitions have begun around the city. We’ve collaborated with county crews to demo properties that no longer serve their purpose as shelter. Three properties have been cleared, seven remediated of asbestos and toxins, and twenty-seven more are slated for the crane this season.
The following photos show the process from start to finish at a property on Hamilton Street. The event was compelling – violent, methodical, and poignant all at once.

I celebrate these projects coming to fruitation…..It was back in 1994 that I called a meeting of the Common Council after I went around the City and took pictures of the deteriorating buildings and brought this to everyones attention that in order to improve our community we needed to get rid of the derelict buildings and garbage that abounded. After this presentation Mayor Duchessi took up the cause, and I see that Mayor Thane and Chief Liberti are proceeding to help the appearance of this wonderful community by their perserverance and dedication to this project……Thanks …from one grateful citizen…!!
