Demolition work is underway at the Evansville Executive Inn.
The first swings of the wrecking claw are hitting Evansville’s Executive Inn Tuesday morning. Demolition on the one-story portion of the hotel began at 8:00 a.m. Crews will first work to take down the indoor pool area, office and ballroom space before moving on to the larger tower portion of the building.
The immediate demolition will allow for prep work to begin on the new downtown arena which will sit in the footprint of the old hotel. The front portion of the hotel will be remodeled and renamed in the coming year.
