Work crews were expected to complete their demolition Saturday of the former Tasty Nut Shop in downtown White Pigeon.
The expected work Saturday morning came after crews relieved the pressure off the southwest corner of the building on Tuesday by taking down an area of the third floor. Doug Kuhlman, village zoning administrator, said specially trained workers were brought in Wednesday, Thursday and Friday to conduct asbestos abatement.
With that task completed Friday morning, demolition crews were scheduled to continue their work Saturday.
The State Land Bank Authority last month issued the village a grant in excess of $575,000 to cover costs related to demolition of the 160-year-old building. It was condemned in October 2021 and vacated in February 2022.
