Pike County Land Bank Seeks Bids to Demolish Former Stockdale School in Beaver

The Pike County Land Reutilization Corporation is looking for a contractor to remove asbestos from and demolish the former Stockdale School in Beaver.

The vacant school at 57 State Route 335 has sat empty for years. The building also served as a community center.

A mandatory site walkthrough for prospective bidders is set for 1 p.m. on Nov. 12. Sealed proposals are due to project consultant Tetra Tech by 5 p.m. on Dec. 3, and the land bank expects to award the contract on or before Dec. 15.

Contractors can request the request for proposals by emailing jenn.chandler@tetratech.com with “Stockdale School” in the subject line, or by calling 513-333-3679.

The project is funded through a $508,330 grant from the state’s Brownfield Remediation Program, announced July 1. The grant covers asbestos abatement, air sampling and demolition. Once the building is down, the site will be folded into the community’s redevelopment plans, according to the state announcement.

The land bank, as the corporation is commonly known, is a public corporation created by Pike County to acquire, clean up and return vacant, abandoned or tax-delinquent properties to productive use.
