Medicine Hat to demolish two deteriorating buildings along Kipling Street SE

The City of Medicine Hat is preparing to demolish two unused buildings along Kipling Street Southeast after the structures deteriorated to the point where they pose a public safety concern.

The buildings, located at 345 Kipling Street Southeast, were previously used as a locomotive storage building and a salt shed.

The City says demolition is now required to address the condition of the aging structures.

Work is scheduled to take place from August 10 to 12, with crews completing the demolition as weather permits.
