landmark on the Greenwood skyline — some might call it an eyesore — will soon be just a memory.
Crews will tear down the unused Valle Vista water tower next week, Mayor Mark Myers said.
The 105-foot tower, located on the grounds of the Valle Vista Golf Club, 755 E. Main St., has stood since the mid-1970s and has long posed a hazard for pilots who use the Greenwood Municipal Airport.
Removing the structure will boost air safety and make the airport more attractive for recreational and corporate pilots, Myers said.
Demolition, which is scheduled to start March 13, will take about one day, he said.
The cost of demolition is estimated at from $50,000 to $60,000.
