ADAMS - The village of Adams recently completed a project to demolish  
two outdated buildings in its downtown area.
The old fire barn and village office were demolished thanks to a  
Brownfield project which works to rid communities of unused buildings  
that may be contaminated, according to Kim Plouzek, Public Health  
Solutions emergency and environmental health programs manager.

"The sites were both commercial and had potential contaminants,"  
Plouzek said. "For the village, it was definitely a liability they

project actually dates back several years, Adams Rescue Captain Mike  
Pethoud said.
