PARTIAL COLLAPSE

Safety and Code Enforcement Director David Cowan said crews from the City of Independence discovered a portion of the roof at 201 E. Main St. had collapsed. Cowan said after a review of the structure and consultation with professionals, a decision was made to barricade off the parking and sidewalks along the north and west side of 201 E. Main St. The building department is working to make contact with the owner and will present this situation to the City Commission June 30. Courtesy Photo
