PLYMOUTH — The Plymouth Board of Public Works and Safety will begin to address a safety issue at a
building at 113 East Washington St. that was part of McCords in Plymouth.
The building has fallen into disrepair, and recently, there were reports of bricks falling from the walls of the building. Building Commissioner Dennis Manuwal informed the Board that he had inspected the building and confirmed that bricks were indeed falling from the structure, and he also observed that a wall had begun to bow.
The city will urge the owners to take some action for safety, and the Board decided to place a barricade around the structure for safety reasons.
Discussions of what to do with the property began as far back as 2023, and the city would like the building demolished and redeveloped. An environmental study was undertaken in February of this year to find any contamination issues with the former industrial site.
