PAGH closer to the wrecking ball

Officials at the Health Sciences Centre hope they will soon be one step closer to tearing down the old Port Arthur General. Spokesperson Scott Potts says they've issued a formal request for companies to submit demolition bids. Once that happens, Potts says other options can be reviewed.  That includes selling the land, developing it with another partner or keeping it for potential future uses.   The building has sat idle since the new hospital opened six years ago.
