Poorly managed! This is disgusting how careless these contractors are
The company that’s doing this is brandenburg industrial service. Last year while tearing down the greyhound station they were dumping into the river. It was reported and nothing! All they did was pay off ppl and got rewarded with this project!
“The casino will be good for the city”
Save this video and post it on X, Facebook, wherever. Need to hold Ballys accountable for this. First they cut down the old growth trees, now negligently demolishing into river
