Agency staff told the Land Reuse and Preservation Agency that required clearances have been received and a notice to proceed for demolition will be issued next week. Staff said contractors are on board and that demolition work should begin promptly.

Staff reported the substantial completion date is set for Nov. 21, though they said the contractor expects the work could finish sooner. No vote or contract award was taken at the meeting; staff described this as a status update and a planned administrative action to issue the notice to proceed.

The report was given under unfinished business; board members expressed appreciation for the update and asked staff to keep the board informed of progress and any changes to the schedule.
