A former insurance office building located at Third and Grape streets in Fullerton should be reduced to rubble over the next several weeks.

The demolition will allow for the widening of the intersection at Grape Street for better traffic flow.

A Port Carbon company, Madonna, was awarded a $15,000 contract to take down the wooden structure, which years ago was a family residence. The company was the lowest bidder.

Whitehall Mayor Edward D. Hozza Jr. said 10 companies sought the demolition project contract. The high bid came in at $29,950. Hozza said the low bid came in under the township's projection of $20,000 for the demolition.

Earlier the township had several large trees on the tract cut down.

When the widening will take place depends on talks the township has with PennDOT officials.
