Pure Muskegon is the group of investors that bought the old paper plant, and they expect the second stack will be imploded around 9 a.m. on Oct. 1.

The former Chase Piano Factory building on the site is also going through asbestos remediation. This building is also going to be torn down through conventional demolition, but there is no exact date for when it will come down.
