WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) _ Plans to demolish West Lafayette City Hall likely will come to fruition about two years after the building was abandoned because of a mold infestation.

Mayor John Dennis tells the (Lafayette) Journal and Courier (http://on.jconline.com/1Ugjfzw) that the 44-year-old building probably will be razed sometime late this winter or early spring. He says an initial plan to tear down the building in October was shelved after cost overruns on another project prompted city officials to tap into the $250,000 allocated to demolish city hall.

City offices were moved out of the when building mold spore readings indicted the presence of dangerously high counts after the pipes froze and burst twice in January 2014.

The building has been vacant since February 2014.
