Kentucky’s world-famous Executive Inn will be deconstructed, not imploded.
We reported last week that the impending demolition of Kentucky’s Executive Inn, affectionately known as the Big E, was the subject of year another bidding war with some 14 contractors attempting to win the prestigious contract.
The contract winner and apparent low bidder at just over $1.02 million, is Denney Excavating. What is more surprising is the fact that the Denney has eschewed the traditional hotel implosion much favoured Stateside in favour of a controlled deconstruction. In fact, only two of the 14 companies bidding for the contract even mentioned the use of explosives, and one of those only as an option.
