I think the grain elevators would make incredibly solid landfill for our swampy water front.  
Spending $2-3 million to tear them down would be the best investment.

Basically the more old concrete structure we remove the more waterfront we would have and everyone knows what that’s worth.

With all of the new codes and energy costs it would be cheaper in the long run to demo buildings built with old technology.
