Former Collins & Aikman plant demolition underway in New Hampshire
Demolition crews from Danley Demolition of Fremont have started taking down the 240,000-square-foot facility. They will be active through the winter taking the facility apart in sections.

Custodial Trust that manages the property, after a year of marketing the plant and finding one or two potential tenants who eventually decided against moving into the facility because of the economy, the state is washing its hands of the structure.
It was too costly to keep the facility intact, Moran said. The building not only had to be secured, but also was kept heated because of an extensive sprinkler system inside, he said. The roof, which was “never in good shape,” has also gotten worse and would cost more than $1 million to repair, Moran said.
