BONITA SPRINGS, Fla.- A well-known landmark that sat for
years on U.S. 41 in Bonita Springs is being torn down on Friday.
A ceremony was held around 10 a.m. to begin the
deconstruction of the massive ship. Crews say by the end of the day, it will
all be just a pile of rubble.
A brand new, senior living development called Diamond Oaks
Village will be built on the property.
Bonita Springs officials say it’s hard to see landmarks go,
but in this case, it’s time.
“When you lose a landmark like this, it’s hard for everybody
because it’s been here for so long. But the fact is, change is hard, but this
is an important change for the city. This will bring new life, new faces in
this area,” said Deputy Mayor Steve McIntosh.
Construction has already begun on the new development in the
back of the property. It’s expected to be completed in 15 months.
