Fort Payne is one step closer to tearing down an old hospital which has sat vacant for years.
The City now owns the property at the corner of Forest Avenue and 13th Street. And with money they got from a grant, the mayor says they can finally start to demo the former DeKalb General Hospital. Everybody here is ready to see it go. It s time for something new. Obviously it has history, but I think it s done it s part. It s time for something better, something that we can put to use because that s a huge spot of land just kinda going to waste, said Joycelyn Evans, who works at The Gathering Place across the street from the hospital.
