Former Fitch School demolition under way

Demolition of the Ezra C. Fitch School building, located at 14 Ash St., began on Thursday with a large portion of the building brought down by the day’s end. Demolition and removal will continue through the end of May. The gymnasium at the back of the school located on the Cherry Street side of the lot will remain for Recreation Department use. The rest of the lot, with the exception of the spray park, will house a new park. Plans for the park have not yet been drawn.
