A demolition permit has been issued by South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control for the Palace Theater in Myrtle Beach after the building’s façade garnered damage from Hurricane Matthew in October 2016, a report by WFMB News says.
The Palace Theater has been closed since the storm, the report says, and an announcement was made in early April that it would remain closed. Owners of the building Chapin Co. says it wishes to demolish the building as soon as possible.
The permit allows the building to be torn down to its slab, the report says. It also states that the site must be restored to meet compliance within 14 days of demolishing the building. According to the report, part of the compliance is to restore the site to one that is “hydroseeded with as slit fence to eliminate erosion.”
Low Country Unlimited is slated to perform the demolition. According to the report, the department issued a building inspection report in December 2016 that indicated no asbestos was found in the building.
The value of the building is listed in the permit as $5.8 million, the report says. The value came from county records and is not the value of the building in its current state.
