Almost three and a half years after a devastating tornado ripped through Castalian Springs, historic Wynnewood has a new roof.
But as restoration efforts progress, and the September completion deadline nears, site advocates express bittersweet emotions in light of a recent land purchase for a proposed rock quarry. The company Hoover Inc., recently purchased 300 acres in Castalian Springs, using the name Western Farm Products LLC.
"The damage will start from day 1," said reconstruction contract Brad Olds, who has 30 years of experience in historic restoration. "The first blast will cause deterioration in the structure system, and with every blast, the deterioration will continue to severely damage the building over time."
