Melching plus Atlanta-based Trinity Industrial Services are asking to demolish the 10-story power plant on Sunday, October 27, and then move on to the two remaining smokestacks at a later undetermined date.
The demolition is scheduled for Sunday, January 29 between 9 and 10 a.m., a time selected because traffic on nearby roads, including the major Lakeshore Drive thoroughfare will be minimal. A “soft” road closure would take place at 30 minutes before the scheduled demolition. A “hard” road closure will happen 15 minutes before.
