Topic: Flint Medical Arts building on Flushing Road to be demo'd

I just read in The Flint Journal that after months of wrangling, the abandoned Flint Medical Arts Building in Flint Township will finally be torn down as soon as next week. I hope Genesee Towers will be next. I was told due to its location that it cannot be imploded. But there are big machines which can crush the reinforced concrete stucture.

The Medical Arts Building use to be the building to be in back in the day, once again its sad to see such a good building in such a state. However, it does need to be torn down!

Flinn I hope they save that building ( Genesee Towers) and renovate it into a first class faculity like it once was. If we can save Durant Hotel, Berridge Hotel, And those buildings in the 500 block, we can save Genesee Towers! Why spend millions to clean up lead, asbestos etc and tear it down???? We could put those dollars to better use to renovate it.

It depends on how much it would cost to rehab the building as opposed to tearing it down and starting over. It's the building inspector's call. If there is no interest in the building, public safety comes first.
