AVON LAKE , Ohio - Avon Lake Environmental Redevelopment Group announced the final implosion of the former Avon Lake Power Plant will take place Thursday, Dec. 19, in the early morning.
According to a press release from Avon Lake, ALERG will continue to monitor all conditions to determine the safest course of action. While there have been several changes to the weather forecast over the last week, when taking into account all factors, it is the determination of the demolition and explosive experts that Thursday morning is still the best time to conduct the event.
In addition, considering all circumstances, including structural changes and explosive placements, delaying the event at this point adds risks that can be avoided by conducting the event tomorrow in a safe and controlled manner. There must be a balance between the ready condition and the most favorable, even if not ideal, weather condition, according to the press release.
The weather will be monitored in real-time and if there is a shift that the experts believe proposes a risk that cannot be managed, the City will be alerted. Residents will be notified 30 minutes before the implosion. The notifications will be sent out via Alert Avon Lake Emergency Notification, in addition to being posted here on the City’s website, and on the City’s Facebook page,Lake Road, between Moore Road and Miller Road, will be closed for about one hour.A 1,700-foot exclusion zone will be established around the site for additional safety, restricting access to the immediate area during the event.
