OKLAHOMA CITY -
Now that the Festival of the Arts is over work is getting started on demolition of the old police headquarters building in downtown Oklahoma City.
Chain link stretches around the 1960 s era police headquarters building and municipal courthouse.
Crews are getting to work, but we re told it will be weeks before the walls come tumbling down to make way for parking for the new police headquarters.
“They are doing some of the internal salvage of some of the materials inside,” said Oklahoma City Public Works Director Eric Wenger.
Wenger believes the first week of August is the earliest the police headquarters building, and courthouse will be flattened.
