Crestview’s Alatex building, the future home of FAMU pharmacy’s extension campus in Northwest Florida, could be ready for the university’s use by next year.Last week, the Crestview City Council conditionally approved the Tallahassee-based Cason Environmental & Demolition Service company's bid to remove asbestos and lead-based paint from the facility. Those contaminants must be removed before the building’s title can be transferred to FAMU.
According to the Northwest Florida Daily News, “an environmental assessment authorized by FAMU identified roughly 60 square feet of asbestos tile and 250 square feet of drywall containing asbestos that must be removed before renovations begin.”
FAMU plans to spend $10.2M in order to renovate the Alatex building and has already received $2.5M from the legislature.
Let's go Crestview
