DEAN RIDEOUT of New Meadows Abatement works Monday to remove hazardous materials from 81 Pleasant St., an abandoned property owned by the Brunswick Development Corp. The BDC on Thursday signed abatement and demolition contracts to raze this building and three nearby structures by January, ostensibly to make way for a new Brunswick police station on the corner of Pleasant and Stanwood streets.
DEAN RIDEOUT of New Meadows Abatement works Monday to remove hazardous materials from 81 Pleasant St., one of four abandoned properties pegged for a new Brunswick police station on the corner of Pleasant and Stanwood streets. The buildings are due to be razed in January 2012.
Brown said in an email Monday that the Brunswick Development Corp. (BDC), of which he is a ex officio member, approved a bid for cleanup and demolition of the buildings — at 81 and 85 Pleasant St. and 1 and 3 Stanwood St. — during a meeting Thursday.
Hazardous materials cleanup began at the buildings Monday, Brown wrote, and the buildings are expected to be demolished by mid-January.
The property, which is currently owned by the BDC, has been identified by the Town Council as the preferred site for constructing a new Brunswick police station.
At its meeting Thursday, the BDC selected New Meadows Abatement to complete asbestos removal at the four buildings for a price of $14,920.
Ray Labbe & Sons, Inc. received the contract for demolition of the buildings, with a bid of $64,480.
The town’s police station committee will meet next on Dec. 6.
