ASBESTOS TEMPORARILY HALTS POST OFFICE DEMOLITION

The demolition of the former Maplewood Village Post Office was recently halted after asbestos was found on the property, according to Mayor Vic Deluca.

He referred questions to JMF Properties, which is handling the demolition and pending construction of a three-story, 20-apartment, five retail shop complex.

But the mayor did say via email:
 
We know asbestos was discovered in the glue holding down some floor tiles. JMF deals with the state on asbestos issues. The Township will allow demolition to start once we receive a certification from JMF that the clean up has been completed. 
Vic

JMF did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
