Post by: Sarge on November 02, 2019, 04:57:16 pm

The old Fiero Powerhouse building, part of the Fisher Body Plant in Pontiac, will see an implosion on Saturday morning, Nov. 2.

(source a local Michigan newspaper)
The demolition is expected to take place at 8 a.m. with surrounding streets closing or seeing restricted access at 7 a.m. and remaining closed for up to three hours after the implosion.

This building was part of the Fisher Body plant that helped build the Pontiac Fiero the powerhouse was closed in the late 1980's. The property is currently owned by Racer Trust
