Commissioners Updated On Courthouse Square Demolition
Commissioners Update On Resumed Courthouse Square Demolition
Demolition has resumed on the Courthouse Square building. Because of that demolition, the City of Washington will be closing West Beau Street in the construction zone for the next month, beginning April 6. After their meeting, Commissioner Chairman Nick Sherman provided an update to the project. He says that according to ADAMO Demolition, the timeframe for construction of the new Public Safety building has not been altered due to the accident that saw a large backhoe fall into a hole in early March. Sherman says that ADAMO and OSHA are characterizing the incident as an accident. Sherman says there has been no change in how crews are attacking the demolition. Actual demolition of the building should occur in approximately three weeks. In other county business, commissioners approved a measure to join the WestCORE regional cooperative group. The group is comprised of several southwestern Pennsylvania counties. It will avail the Washington County Public Safety department to new technologies and products important to public safety and communications.
