Theatre demolition

Hager Excavating began removing the back wall of the Rockford Theatre on Tuesday, May 30, and over the next several days cleaned out the rubble left behind from last December's roof collapse.

Residents are asked to respect the Rockford Theatre at this time and to keep a safe distance. The structure is unstable and has the potential of collapsing into the basement due to water damage.

The hope...
