SPEARFISH, S.D. (AP) - Demolition work is underway on a Spearfish call center that collapsed under the weight of snow during an early October blizzard.

The Black Hills Pioneer reports (https://bit.ly/1qoQp2Q) that the work began last week. Local contractor Johner and Sons received the nearly $50,000 bid to salvage any items of value and then raze the 50,000-square-foot building. The work is to wrap up in mid-May.

The 225 Spearfish workers with Iowa-based TMone have been operating out of the city’s recreation center since the collapse of the building during the Oct. 4-5 storm, which dumped as much as 4 feet of snow on western South Dakota’s Black Hills. No one was in the building when it collapsed, and computer servers were spared.
