Officials are calling the demolition of the former NAPA building a project milestone.
The building at 302 S. Walnut St. was razed today to make way for the Bloomington Convention Center expansion.
The building was more recently used as the county’s Elections Operations center.
Utility work is underway on the expansion site, and more than half of construction bids are in.
The new building is projected to be complete in January 2027, and renovation of the existing building is expected to be finished in mid 2027.
The entire project cost is $71 million funded by the county food and beverage tax.
