The demolition of the Greenville News building downtown is quickly approaching. No, they’re not blowing it up with TNT, or swinging through it with a wrecking ball (although that would be cool to watch). In anticlimactic fashion, they will be picking the building apart, piece by piece. It will officially come down in May to make room for the new Camperdown project, which will feature a 140-room hotel, 217-room apartment building, 80,000 square feet of retail space, 150,000 square feet of office space and 18 condominiums.
To add salt to the wound, the Greenville News, now located in a new office on the fourth floor of 32 E. Broad will get a bird’s eye view of their old buildings deconstruction.
If anyone has any good ideas for the new site for the statue of Nathanael Greene (currently outside of the Greenville News building), please share. It will be put into storage until a new placement can be found.
