A piece of Kodak history goes out with a bang next month. The impending demolition of Building 23 on West Ridge Road in Rochester, NY is coming down.

Kodak has hired Advanced Explosives Demolition Incorporated to take down the building on a weekend morning in early July. The company has not yet released an exact date, but plans to do so in the days leading up to the demolition. Work is now underway to remove asbestos and hazardous materials and prepare the building for implosion. AED is teaming with Bianchi Industrial Services on the project.

AED and public safety staff will be on hand to monitor the big day. Neighbors should not expect any surprises when it comes to their daily routines.

"We always make sure that there's no disruption to any type of water lines, gas lines and so forth and there's no adverse effect of any of the utilities that will result of it," Wilburn said.

A team of seven from AED arrives in Rochester June 21. It'll make final preparations for the implosion, which is scheduled for July 1.
