Contractors have nearly completed demolition on the downtown buildings affected by the 2022 fire. The S. Pollard fronting buildings were the target of this phase and required specialized engineering. This demolition project has had challenges due to shared walls between buildings. Contractors are also attempting to salvage the former Red Jasmine building with a new restaurant tenant planning to utilize the space. S. Pollard Street has reopened and E. Lee Avenue is expected to reopen in the next few days. Stay tuned for updates on construction of the new buildings.
