A historic building in Springfield, Vermont is set to be demolished by years end, reports The Vermont Journal.
The Jones & Lamson Building, an approximately 270,000 square foot building, will begin to be torn down once funds have been appropriated. The current balance of a 1999 fund to be used towards the handling of the building is $755,066. It is planned that $25,000 will be taken out of reserve funds to fulfill the $1 million grant application to tear it down.
The building has rested empty since 1986, not long after Springfield began to fall off as a manufacturing powerhouse which was reportedly on Nazi Germany’s list of United States bombing targets.
TSCA, a division of the EPA, will need to sign off on the Site Stabilization Plan, which will address how the land is used once the building is torn down.
