Pocomoke armory asbestos remediation under way; demolition expected in March
Summary
Council received an update that asbestos removal at the Pocomoke Armory was under way and that demolition and inspection steps are scheduled to follow, with demolition anticipated in March.
City staff told the council that phase 1 of the Pocomoke Armory demolition project — asbestos remediation inside the fenced facility — is currently under way.
The contractor began site setup and asbestos abatement last week, staff said, and the city anticipates asbestos removal will be completed toward the end of next week. State inspection is required after abatement clearance; if the inspection is satisfactory, the project will move to demolition and then to site cleanup. Staff said demolition work is currently targeted for March, with the cleanup phase possibly extending beyond that target date.
The city said it is taking precautions to protect the surrounding neighborhood during asbestos removal and that contractors are coordinating required state inspections before the demolition phase.
Ending: Staff asked the council if there were questions and indicated they will return with updated timing if state inspections or contractor schedules change.
