The Knox Board of Public Works approved change orders for the demolition project at 2 and 4 N. Main Street in the downtown area.

Crews tore down the buildings that housed the old Knox theater and the former office of the Starke County Economic Development Foundation. While most of the debris has been cleared, there are a few issues that need to be addressed before inclement weather sets in.

A wall cap needs to be installed and some flashing to seal part of the building. The $8,027 will be paid by grant funds that was awarded through the City of Knox and applied for by the Starke County Economic Development Foundation.
