IBM-Endicott Demolition Debris Kept Under Cover

Workers have completed the arduous task of tearing down five dilapidated buildings at the site known as "The Birthplace of IBM" in Endicott.

While the demolition project has been wrapped up, hundreds of tons of debris from the old structures still must be hauled to the Broome County landfill in the town of Nanticoke.

Gorick Construction started demolition operations at the site along North Street on December 31. The work of tearing down the "Old Building Complex" was completed in June.

Chris Pelto, who oversees the Huron Campus for Phoenix Investors, said although the buildings have come down, the material that remains from the structures now has been covered.

County Executive Jason Garnar said "the site has been leveled but there's still a lot of work" to be done before it is completely cleared.

Garnar told WNBF News "the landfill can only accept a certain amount of material" from demolition projects at this time. He said a new cell at the landfill is expected to open in the next couple of months.

A state grant will be used to develop a master plan for future potential uses for the Huron Campus in Endicott.

Local development officials are hoping a shovel-ready site will prove to be attractive to businesses looking to expand their operations.
