EVANSVILLE, Ind (WEHT) One of the options being considered for the future site of the old 420 building (5th & Main) is demolition.
Deputy Mayor Steve Schaefer tweeted that developers evaluated the old 420 building/ONB Tower and concluded that the mechanical, electrical & plumbing (MEP) is not sufficient for reuse. Schaefer adds that the developers are still interested in the project, but are now considering several options – including tearing down the structure.
The group hopes to present a new proposal to the ERC in the near future.
Groundbreaking on the building took place in the winter of 1967, with the building opening in 1970.
