Today the parking garage started coming down.  It is coming down faster than we expected due to the type of construction, (Hollowcore concrete panels sitting on concrete beams anchored with steel).  With any luck we will have the parking garage completely down by the end of July.

I am the Project Manager/Estimator on the project.  We have been working to get all the EPA notifications in, working through all the burocracy that goes along with this type of project.  You should see the building start to come down about the first of next week, hopefully Monday.  We will start recking the Parking Garage first, working from East to West.  Once the parking lot is demolitished, we will start removing the pavement for the new parking lot work.  At that time we will relocate the temporary fencing around the Swallen's building and start the demolition.  Our completion date will be about September.

Pac & Rhodes - I agree that a reduction in section 8 is much needed,but my point was that not all the troubles that exist originate or flow from all the section 8 residents. Yes part is due to section 8 but a large part is due also to the mentality as I stated earlier. Middletown has definitly rolled out the red carpet for section 8 no doubt,I see it first hand and know it well.
 
But you can't compare Middeltown to Lebanon,Springboro,Monroe etc,etc. Middletown is or was an industrial town so to me there is no comparison with other areas.
 
Hermes for a change I did not mention Section 8 in my post above I mentioned Poverty, which includes Section 8, Public Housing and many others.  Middletown needs to be attracting the Middle Class if it wants to survive.  Having the welcome mat open only to the poverty sector will finish off this city.  That is why you need to take down those 2-3000 homes that are vacant and falling down.  You need to get Section 8 to a managble level which is well under 1000 vouchers.  You need to also cut the Publci Housing Units, etc.

Back in the 50's and 60's, you couldn't compare Lebanon, Springboro, Mason and Monroe to Middletown for much different reasons than today's comparison. Back in the 50's and 60's, Middletown was the "king of the hill" as smaller cities go around here, mainly due to Armco's success and Aeronca and the paper mills paying decent money as well, providing a nice living for the people in this town. Lebanon, Springboro, Mason and Monroe were all farm fields, rural, little to no industry, little opportunity to make decent wages and people living in those towns came to Middletown unless they wanted to "stay on the farm". Now, it is the exact opposite. Middletown has been grossly neglected by former and current leaders as to providing decent wages/opportunities to live a decent life and Lebanon, Mason, Springboro and Monroe have sprinted by and now possess the upscale clientele for residents, leaving Middletown with the lower income/deficient income. The cow towns of yesteryear have become the places to be and Middletown, the king of the hill back then has been relegated to the bottom of the totem pole. The past and present city leaders are to be thanked for allowing that to happen due to their incompetence.    ]]> Thu, 24 Jun 2010 14:42:39 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3070&PID=19602&title=garage-mural#19602 Garage Mural : Rhodes wrote:Hermes, it isn't... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=3070&PID=19601&title=garage-mural#19601 Author: Hermes

Hermes for the most part it is not like that East of Breiel, with the exception of a few areas, like Old Roosevelt Blvd. in that one section.
 
Rhodes is right until you decrease the poverty and the stop laying out the welcome mat to every poor person in Butler County, Middletown is going down the tubes.  You can not support this city with a declining population and an increasing Poverty Level.  The young people who can are leaving to never return, even your churches are seeing a decline in parishioners due to a lack of young people.
 
Not that anyone is listening, Wake up Middletown.
