BOONE, Iowa—The demolition of a former KWBG offices and studio is nearing completion. The building at 813 Keeler Street was targeted for demolition when the rear of building began to collapse. The city has an agreement about the demolition with the building owner which requires 75 percent of the demolition cost be covered by the owner but 25 percent can be forgiven if a building is constructed in the space. Demolition has been slow because there’s a shared wall with the VFW to the north.
