EPA Approves Demolition of Kensington Heights Housing Project


BUFFALO, N.Y. - The Environmental Protection Agency has approved Buffalo's Housing Authority's plan to remove asbestos and eventually demolish the Kensington Heights housing project.

Over the summer, a federal grand jury indicted two companies and nine people including past and present city and state inspection workers connected to the asbestos removal project.

The Housing Authority also says it will hold a series of meetings so that neighbors in the area can get an idea of what the new development process will entail.
