From the minutes of the March 8, 2004 Special Session of the CMA: The $49,420 bid by Ark Wrecking was accepted for debris removal and structural stabilization of City Hall. The first phase will be stabilization.

Physical Action
At Last!

More than two and 1/3 years after a fire forced all city functions from the historic City Hall building, the process begins to start restoring the building. Ark Wrecking began unloading stabilization poles and symbolically replaced the large "Watch Us Rebuild" banner with their own Ark Wrecking banner March 19, 2004. The bid was approved March 8, 2004 by the Collinsville Municipal Authority for cleanup & stabilization.
