I believe that's the goal of the property management firm that bought it, to save what they could. PLK Communities spoke to Norwood city council a while back about their plans for the site. I think the demo was only planned once the property was sold to them.

Fencing has been placed around the U. S. Playing Card Co. property, so it looks like demolition will begin soon.

My mom worked there for several years before USPC broke up the union that was in place. I'm glad to see something finally happening with that property. It would be interesting to see photos of the inside as it is now.

We're about to elect a new mayor, the first time in 17 years or so. Hopefully there will be a shift in the approach to development issues. There is a mindset among some of the multi-generational natives that Norwood is fine just as it is. So the new mayor may have to do battle that segment of the population.
