– leaning structure posed danger
The dilapidated New Amsterdam Town Hall Tower was dismantled just after midday yesterday. The demolition began early in the day and a large crane lifted off the main section of the landmark later in the day. The structure was a landmark in the history of the town and was certainly one of the tallest structures in New Amsterdam.
But it deteriorated over time and had posed a risk to the many persons who commute in the New Amsterdam Market and the busy Pitt Street and Strand areas in the town.
A committee, which comprises the New Amsterdam Chambers of Commerce, the N/A Town Council, the Region 6 Administration and several private sector organisations, is now tasked to rebuild a new town hall tower. One of the committee members told Kaieteur News that “work is going to commence to rebuild within a short time frame”.
They will advertise and award the contract, the member added.
“We have some funds to make a start and are therefore calling for the public and private sectors to give support in any form whether cash or materials”.
The new town hall tower will be similar in design to the old one “and maybe some slight changes and the intention is to go back to the same height”.
