"I think we're good to go," Budzinski told Register correspondent Jean Falbo-Sosnovich Thursday evening.
The pile of unsightly rubble has remained an eyesore in town since the former historic wire factory was consumed in a blaze on Sept. 11, 2010. Demolition had begun in October 2010, but was halted, due to weather, and a bunch of red tape the owner encountered with insurance and permits.
A new demolition contractor has since come on-board, EnviroGuard, which delivered its machine to the site Thursday.
The fire that destroyed the factory at 109 River St., was ruled accidental by the town and state fire marshals' offices. Contractors using blow torches to cut up metal pipes in the vacant building were cited as the cause of the fire.
