PRELIMINARY CONSTRUCTION WORK CONTINUES FOR MACARTHUR CENTER

ILLUSTRATION: VICKI CRONIS/The Virginian-Pilot

The MacArthur Memorial peeks out behind a growing pile of recycled

rubble that will be used to make concrete for the MacArthur Center

mall. When buildings were demolished in November to make room for

the mall, enough concrete was left to fill 75 two-story,

four-bedroom houses. Old Dominion Demolition, in charge of the

demolition and recycling, says about 85 percent of the leftover

concrete will be recycled.
