Around 24 demolition contractors attend pre-bid meeting on Coca Cola bottling plant.
It is a story that will gladden the hearts of dentists across the land; the Coca Cola bottling plant in Muncie will be coming down early in the New Year and local demolition contractors are queuing to be the ones to pop the cap.
