Princeton Residents Express Concern Over Former Hospital Demolition

Many residents feel the procedures in place for monitoring the demolition of the former Princeton Hospital are insufficient, and that they may be developing health problems related to the demolition, the Princeton Packet reports.

Some of the health problems include sore throats and allergies. One person reported coughing up a black substance, according to the report. They reported their concerns during a public forum organized by Councilwoman Jenny Crumiller.

Princeton Administrator Marc DeShields said the site is being monitored with surprise visits, and that a “certain level of dust is OK,” according to the report.

He also said anyone who sees dust should alert the police, according to the report.
