Manchester Officials Direct Wrecking Ball Toward Blighted Building

MANCHESTER — The board of directors on Tuesday decided to come into its meeting like a wrecking ball regarding a rundown building near town hall.

It will now be demolished, the Hartford Courant reported.

The vacant commercial/residential building at 111-13 Center St. is in "deplorable condition" and not worth saving, General Manager Scott Shanley told the board before the unanimous vote in favor of demolition.

The town acquired the structure at a tax auction last year.
