Asbestos Removal and Demolition of Cleveland, OH Area Shopping Plaza

In August 2009, asbestos abatement contractors are scheduled to begin work at the site of the former State Road Plaza in Cuyahoga Falls, OH. The suburban Cleveland shopping center is then scheduled for demolition.

According to a Cuyahoga Falls spokesperson, the governor was to sign documents awarding $2 million in grant money to abate the asbestos and demolish the shopping center.

The razing of the interior of the structure was scheduled to begin in early August 2009, and the site is expected to be cleared by November 2009.

City officials are still in the process of negotiating redevelopment plans for the site, and hope that a contract will be ready to present to City Council in September.

Even limited or secondhand exposure to asbestos is known to cause serious illnesses such as mesothelioma cancer, asbestos-related lung cancer and asbestosis. Because the long latency period (the time between exposure and when symptoms first develop) is decades long, those exposed to asbestos may not develop symptoms of disease until many years later.
