Work to demolish a 30 metre New Jersey smokestack could begin as soon as Monday.
Plans for the demolition of Red Bank’s idle incinerator stack are moving ahead, with work expected to begin as early as Monday, borough engineer Christine Ballard tells redbankgreen.
In a press release issued today, Ballard says the 30 metre tall brick smokestack at the western end of Sunset Avenue is part of a hazardous discharge site remediation leading, possibly, to the creation of a park on the 8.5-acre property.
