CLEVELAND — Demolition will begin on Wednesday at the former Sheraton Cleveland Airport Hotel.
The following individuals are expected to be in attendance:
- Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb
- Councilman Kerry McCormack
- Director of Port Control Bryant L. Francis
Officials say that Cleveland Hopkins International Airport will symbolically kick off the demolition of the former Sheraton Hotel at 9 a.m.
3News plans to stream the demolition, which can be watched in the media player at the top of the story and on our YouTube channel.
This is one of the early components of a multi-year Terminal Modernization Development Program.
According to 3News' partner Cleveland.com, the property is expected to be used to add surface parking to the airport grounds in the short term. In the long term, the city is considering adding a second parking garage to the airport property.
The airport also told Cleveland.com that the demolition could take up to four months. Due to the building's proximity to the airport, it will be brought down using excavators and other heavy equipment, not explosives.
