Everything appears to be in place for the start of the long-awaited project to tear down several abandoned IBM buildings at the company's former Endicott manufacturing hub.
Demolition crews are ready to start tearing down several vacant buildings that were part of the sprawling manufacturing complex in Endicott known as "The Birthplace of IBM."
People who fought to keep the historic "IBM Collection" in Endicott are working to find a new home for the exhibit that highlights innovations developed by the company's workers in the 20th century.
People are reacting angrily to word that the Endicott History and Heritage Center is preparing to return its IBM Collection to the company that calls the village its birthplace.
The long-planned project to tear down five large buildings once used by IBM Endicott has received a big boost with a multi-million dollar grant from New York state.
The owners of the former IBM Endicott site are moving forward with plans to tear down several unused buildings to clear the way for redevelopment projects.
