Mesothelioma and Asbestos

Eighty-five years of hurricanes, pounding surf, salt air as well as termites possess used a toll on the Daytona Beach Pier as well as the historic building that sits on it, but two groups of prominent businesspeople are vying for permission to rebuild it. One group of local investors is proposing a raw bar with a glass floor where diners can watch fish glide in the water below, plus an upscale 1920s theme restaurant, a casual eatery where beachgoers can purchase picnic lunches as well as a rooftop bar with live music.

A group of out-of-state investors wants to put in a Joe’s Crab Shack as well as with a rooftop bar, kiosks that sell ice cream as well as pizza by the slice, a bait as well as tackle shop as well as an arcade with Ping-Pong tables. Their plan includes welcoming dogs as well as without charge bicycle rickshaw rides.

When the city purchased the pier final fall, they intended to close it down for a few months to make repairs as well as reopen by February, but that schedule was pushed back several times as problems developed. Asbestos in the casino building caused a significant delay, as did the loss of workers who west to help uncluttered up the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. Mayor Glenn Ritchey hopes that the work will be completed as well as the winning developer will possess the pier unfastened for business by the end of the year. It’s a lot of work, but he thinks it’s likely.
