Iowa City will soon begin the demolition process for the first 11 flood-damaged houses purchased under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) and the Community Disaster Grant Program.
Ten houses in Parkview Terrace and one in the Taft Speedway neighborhood will be demolished in this initial round.
Asbestos abatement work on the houses will commence on Wednesday, Sept. 2. Demolition of the structures will begin once the asbestos abatement is complete.
It is anticipated that the demolition phase will begin between September 8 and 11. The next round of demolitions will occur in late September or early October.
