WALLS TUMBLING DOWN — A worker hoses down a block wall as it is knocked down during the ongoing demolition of the former Rome Turney building Thursday afternoon. Cleanup work at the 109 Canal St. site began earlier this month. Previously, the city approved a $112,667 contract with Paragon Environmental of Brewerton for cleanup of petroleum contaminated soil at the site. There was also a $200,000 Environmental Protection Agency grant award to cover the cost. The site was sold in 2018 to Bowers Development of East Syracuse for $30,000 though the property will not transfer until cleanup finishes.
