VIDEO: It’s been one year since the Givaudan plant exploded in the Clifton neighborhood, killing two people, injuring multiple others, and damaging nearby homes. Now, 365 days later, the remnants of the plant remain.
“So we’re not healed yet as a neighborhood, but I think we are coming along and doing as well as can be expected,” said Councilman Andrew Owen, who represents the neighborhood.
So where does demolition stand? A company spokesperson says they are waiting on the city to approve the final demolition permit.
Once the permit is approved, they will work with Hayden Wrecking, the contractor who will manage the site demolition, to establish a start date. They expect it will take about 40 days to complete the work, though they say it could vary depending on the weather. An exact start date has not yet been determined.
