Elmira City Council set to approve funding to demolish Armory Building.
Plans to take down the Armory building are expected to move ahead next week following action by Elmira City Council.
The council will vote on authorising the demolition at a maximum cost of $1,030,000, issuing $750,000 in bonds to pay part of the cost, hiring Epic Contracting Inc. of nearby Buffalo as the contractor and declaring the project and bonding will have no negative environmental impact.
The Armory, where the majority of city law enforcement personnel had been housed, was vacated following the collapse the facade in March 2006.
