WEATHERFORD â The demolition of the old movie theater off the Weatherford downtown square will have to wait a bit longer.
City council Tuesday unanimously rejected a bid by Matrix Demolition LLC in the amount of $87,850 for demolition services, following recommendation of staff.
Weatherford Director of Development and Neighborhood Services Kaleb Kenter said they had only received the single bid, and made the recommendation to reject to ensure that we re using the city s funds in the best possible means.
In March, the city s building and standards commission approved a demolition order for the building, at 111 College Ave. beside Downtown Cantina, after it was deemed unsafe and unsalvageable following two inspections.Â
More than 700 people, a record, gathered in Heritage Park last Thursday for the 12th annual Taste of Parker County benefiting the Weatherford College Foundation.
