Demolition set to start on casket company smokestack in Oneida, New York.
Demolition work is set to start on the site of the old casket factory some time this week, according to Assistant City Engineer Mike Bowe.
The City of Oneida Common Council received two bids for the job and last week approved the low bid of $12,500 from United Contractors of Utica.
Neither bidder opted to bring it down with explosives.
The city put $99,000 in the 2009 budget in anticipation of the possible demolition after receiving legal authority by the common council to “abate dangerous conditions at the site.”
