Work to start next week on removal of water tower eyesore.
A landmark on the Greenwood skyline will soon be just a memory.
Crews will tear down the unused Valle Vista water tower next week, Mayor Mark Myers said.
The 105-foot tower, located on the grounds of the Valle Vista Golf Club has stood since the mid-1970s and has long posed a hazard for pilots who use the Greenwood Municipal Airport.
Removing the structure will boost air safety and make the airport more attractive for recreational and corporate pilots, Myers said.
Demolition, which is scheduled to start March 13, will take about one day, he said.
