BELOIT- The City of Beloit has been awarded a grant from the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) that will go towards the demolition of a building and expanding the Riverwalk downtown.

The City of Beloit plans to demolish the vacant building at 80-100 East Grand Avenue and expand the Riverwalk. The building formerly housed Kerry Inc. and Fat Wallet/Ebates.

The DNR has told the city that the 11,380-square-foot structure must be removed by 2042. A portion of the building overhangs the Rock River, and there are environmental concerns because of how the building is situated and the age of the building.
