K-1 Asbestos Removal Cost Going Up

Fairhope, Alabama 

 

 

Old K-1 school.

MORE HAZARDOUS MATERIAL DISCOVERED

Because additional layers of floor tiles were discovered, asbestos removal cost at the K-1 school have increased by $6,000.

Abatement in basement and attic spaces has already been completed by the contractor, according to public works director Johnson. Just the added flooring on the main floor is left.

Hernandez Demolition and Remediation is the contractor: original contract was for $64K.

Once the floor tiles are removed and the building cleared environmentally, the $2.5 million federal EDA grant that was awarded last year for refurbishing the building as a new business "incubator" can be released to the city, he said.

No timeline for the restoration project has been mentioned.

The City has truly blundered here......the place is full of mold and the price of everything will increase forever. I wish that we could have just one smart business person on the City Council.......just one!

How about you stop posting negative anonymous opinions, put your money where you mouth is and run for a public office.

Acquiring this property was essential for the city. But trying to save this building is absolute insanity. It should have been leveled, and something modern and efficient build in its place. There is a time for historical preservation, and a time to accept that years of neglect have destroyed a building. This is an incredible waste of resources, based on a some misplaced nostalgia. Fairhope is better than this. Or it should be.

"How about you stop posting negative anonymous opinions, put your money where you mouth is and run for a public office."
Paying taxes is putting plenty of money where one's mouth is, and voting puts even more skin in the game. To argue otherwise is to argue that only the handful of previous candidates should have a voice in the public square, and that--once elected--public officials should be free from scrutiny from anyone other than themselves and their less successful, balloted candidates. Poppycock.
