Cocoa Beach Demolition Project Raises Concerns Over Debris

As the demolition of the old International Palms Resort in Cocoa Beach progresses, local residents are growing worried about the potential risks posed by leftover debris. With hurricane season underway, some fear that the piles of rubble could become dangerous projectiles in a storm. City officials say they have a plan in place to secure the debris, including using heavy equipment and beams to stabilize the site. The demolition is part of a project to build a new Westin hotel and conference center.
