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 village of Endicott is moving to conduct independent testing of groundwater samples following efforts to remove chemical contamination linked to IBM manufacturing activities.
