re: WWL 870 at noon today has 1031 Canal Development explaining Hard Rock collapse

I think the delays are due to lack of competence and urgency on the behalf of the developer, combined with perhaps a lack of access to funds

Thet had the plan to implode the building pretty quickly. Seemed like early decemeber, all clean by March or something. The caveat was 1031 needed to take down two more buildings next door.

City, and most the citizens, balked and said there had to be another way.

1031 went back to the drawing board and came up with the traditional demo that required shoring up the building then demoing, Novemeber timeline. Took another month or two to come up with this plan since.

City, and a lot of the citizens, balked and the original implosion plan came back in.

Not sure how long these plans should take to develop. Haven't done any implosion work. Only demo work I been involved in took a few months to plan and execute, but we weren't trying to beat some clock.
