MERIDEN - City officials updated the Brownfield and Blight Committee  
Wednesday on the status of projects including the Factory H  
demolition and new grant applications.

Excitement to begin the much-anticipated demolition of the old  
factory came across while officials spoke. John Bondos of AECOM, an  
engineering consultant working with the city, said the final bid

ready to get rolling with the project."

City Manager Lawrence Kendzior said completion of the demolition is

saying something will definitely be planned to mark the occasion.
