As demolition of the historic Avon Lake power plant continues, city leaders are alerting residents about the upcoming planned implosion of several large portions of the complex.
The city says it has been informed by the Avon Lake Environmental Redevelopment Group (ALERG), the owners of the plant, that two boilers and a precipitator will be imploded using "controlled explosives."
ALERG has not committed to an exact date yet because of "different factors affecting the implosion," however the group did tell Avon Lake leaders that the implosion will occur before mid-August.
“My challenge as mayor is to weigh the information we release while keeping the safety of our residents in mind. In an effort to eliminate crowds, for their own protection, our plan is to notify the community within a week of the implosion and send an alert 30 minutes prior to the implosion through the Alert Avon Lake emergency notification system," Avon Lake Mayor Mark Spaetzel said in a statement.
