EO ready to raze ugly buildings for the new Hilton complex

At last week's East Orange City Council meeting, contracts were awarded for demolition projects on a couple of redevelopment areas. Most notably, the contract for demolishing the towers on the site of the proposed Hilton hotel/retail/commercial center on Evergreen Place was awarded to Mazzocchi Wrecking.

I cannot wait to see these two buildings go. They're awfully hideous and over the years they lied vacant, the towers were home to squatters, drug dealers and murderers. Burned bodies were found there in 2003.
