An unstable building on the downtown Clinton Square will be brought down later this spring.

On the WHOW Morning Show Wednesday, Tony Harris, Clinton City Administrator, told the Hart Media Group at the Tuesday night Clinton City Council meeting, the Council approved the demolition of a building at the corner of Monroe Street and Main Street.

Harris emphasizes this is not something the City wants to be in the business of. He reminds it is not cost-prohibitive. Additionally, bringing down a building doesn't always guarantee something will be rebuilt in its place.

With a busy summer coming up on the square in Clinton, specifically the America 250th celebration, Harris wants that building brought down to completion by that event.

The City Council will approve the bid for the demolition of the building at its next meeting in April.

The Council Tuesday night, also approved the purchase of flock cameras to be placed at the major entry points of the community. We'll hear from Clinton Police Chief Ben Lowers on that purchase tomorrow at the Hart Media Group.
