The demolition of the four buildings at the Kodak Colorado Division plant is moving along at a steady pace, but the completed target date will not be met, an official said Tuesday.
Kodak site manager Vikki Wagner said the project probably won’t be finished until November; work was delayed when workers found more asbestos in the buildings.
The four buildings — C11 (administration and logistics), C13 (X-ray film finishing), C16 (motion picture finishing) and C60 (litho plate manufacturing) — have been vacant as part of the company’s manufacturing consolidations, and about 1 million square feet of demolition space is part of the project.
Wagner said 90 percent of the materials from the four buildings will be reused and recycled, and 100,000 tons of concrete eventually will be removed and recycled.
Kodak broke ground in Windsor in 1969, and the company employed 3,500 people at its peak of employment in the mid-1980s There are about 200 people employed in color paper finishing and thermal media manufacturing at the Kodak plant today.
