Demolition of IBM Old Building Group nears completion
ENDICOTT, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – The demolition of the IBM Old Building Group in Endicott is nearly complete.
Gorick Construction was tearing down the remaining building along McKinley Avenue on Tuesday.
Once all of the structures have been leveled, the rubble will be removed, and there will be some preparation of the site for potential future development.
Mayor Nick Burlingame says the area will remain fenced off. However, a more attractive-looking fence will be erected set back a bit from the sidewalk with a grass border to improve the appearance.
The old IBM buildings have been condemned for 20 years.
The demolition is supported by $6 million from New York State and $2 million of Broome County's ARPA funds.
Burlingame says he's hopeful that the closed section of McKinley can reopen by the end of this week.
