Princeton officials have moved the date for starting demolition of the former Princeton Hospital site to Monday, September 22. Originally targeted for today (Friday), the razing will begin with the building closest to the parking garage, according to Princeton’s municipal engineer Bob Kiser.

Workers have been on site for the past several weeks preparing for the demolition. The entire process is expected to take four to six months. Asbestos removal from the main hospital building has been completed, except for the roof flashings, which the Yannuzzi Wrecking and Recycling Corporation is in the process of taking out.

The demolition will begin Monday, weather permitting. For more information, visit www.avalonprinceton.com.
