Crews to begin clearing out location of future CMHS site

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Central Missouri Humane Society announced in a Wednesday press release that demolition started on Wednesday at the location of its future campus.

A house and a concrete shed located at the 17.5-acre property on East Brown School will be cleared for CMHS’ new campus. CMHS has served Mid-Missouri since 1943.

Previous reports show the estimated cost of the new building is around $25 million.  

“This is an important milestone for us,” CMHS Executive Director Julie Aber said in the release. “Each step brings us closer to building a safe, modern space that better serves the animals, staff, and community who depend on us.”

The demolition at the new campus site is expected to take about a week.
