Demolition in Amsterdam, New York prioritised following collapse of neglected building.
Last winter, the city of Amsterdam in Montgomery County, New York began a collaboration with the County’s demolition/asbestos abatement team and razed seven of the over 50 city-owned properties that were placed on the demolition list.
But, following an unscheduled collapse yesterday of a building that had been slated for demolition, city officials were forced to give the programme greater focus, as The Recorder reports.
