Bridgewater awards bid to firm to demolish the Grange

The Bridgewater Board of Selectmen has awarded a bid to a firm to demolish the Grange.  Stone Construction came in at a higher bid than others, but they are a local firm.  The $59,820 bid award was approved with conditions, including that the price hold steady and that the state Attorney General's office signs off on approval of the demolition. The AG required time for someone to step forward with enough money and a realistic plan to buy and restore the structure.  A group called The Bridgewater Preservation Association wanted to buy the historic landmark on 11 Main Street South for $1, and restore it, but residents voted against the proposal in May.  Bridgewater First Selectman Curtis Read says the building has no water supply well and no septic system, and contains asbestos and lead paint.  Bridgewater has a $100,000 state grant to do the prep work.
