Demolition of the former IAC plant in Carlisle resumed
Monday after several weeks of inactivity.
Work at the site halted in the spring after Carlisle Events
had issues with the contractor that was hired, Battlestone Steel. The project
was re-bid, and the Downingtown-based Terra-Technical Services took over.
Carlisle Events purchased the former manufacturing plant
along Carlisle Springs Road in late 2010. It is expected to take four to six
months to fully demolish and clean up all remaining aspects of the property,
the company said in a news release.
“In May we made reference to wanting to resume work on the
property by July,” said Tom Richey of Carlisle Events. “While that time table
stretched into mid-August, we are proud to say that things are back on track
and people will see a noticeable difference very soon. We are excited to be
working with Terra-Technical Services on this project as well as continuing to
work with the Carlisle Borough as part of our ongoing redevelopment plans.”
Carlisle Events plans to utilize the site for a variety of
purposes, the release said. Development plans call for a mixed use that hosts
at least one hotel, restaurants, offices and residential units. In addition, a
large parking lot will remain to not only accommodate businesses and their
guests, but also to host those attending collector car events at the nearby
Carlisle Fairgrounds.
“While these efforts won’t be completed overnight, we are
finally moving in a direction that everyone can be satisfied with," Richey
said. "We thank everyone for their patience too and look forward to this
phase of the operation being completed in the coming months.”
