Commissioners approve demolition contracts for two former schools using Brownfield funds
Summary
The Greene County Board approved contracts with Fillmore Construction and Ray's International for demolition of two former schools, to be paid from the state's Brownfield remediation program; the property owner will keep one parcel for redevelopment after demolition.
The Greene County Board of Commissioners on Jan. 16 approved demolition contracts for two former school buildings and said the work will be paid from the Brownfield remediation program administered through the state.
County staff presented two companion contracts: a $239,880 contract with Fillmore Construction for demolition of the South School (the presenter noted the record originally listed Jamestown but said the property is in Bowersville) and a $446,000 contract with Ray's International Inc. for demolition of the North School on South Charleston Road. "This is paid for out of the Brownfield remediation program to the state," a county staff member said.
The presenter told commissioners that a property owner identified as Mr. Brown has agreed to allow demolition of the North School and will retain the cleared property afterward for redevelopment.
Commissioners moved and seconded approval of both contract items and recorded the motion as approved.
The board’s action allows county staff to enter into the two demolition contracts and to proceed with Brownfield-funded remediation and demolition work on the two sites. The contracts and the funding source were read into the record during the meeting; commissioners did not provide additional project timelines during the discussion.
