CDC Begins Demolition at Former GM Janesville Assembly Plant
 

Commercial Development Company, Inc. (CDC) has officially started demolition activities at the Janesville Assembly Plant. CDC purchased the retired automotive manufacturing facility from General Motors in December 2017. Environmental Liability Transfer, Inc. (ELT) facilitated the assumption of legacy environmental liabilities associated with the site.

Since acquiring the site in December 2017, CDC has invested significant resources into repurposing the large industrial site for new utilization. Activities to date have included environmental remediation, the removal of asbestos containing materials and universal waste, and preparation for site-wide demolition.

Demolition of the site is expected to be completed in 12-18 months and will include razing of almost 4.8 million sq/ft of retired manufacturing and industrial space. For perspective, the size of the Janesville facility is the equivalent of 106 football fields under roof. Demolition work is being performed by Industrial Demolition LLC, a company owned by CDC that provides demolition services for CDC's many ongoing brownfield reclamation projects.
