Demolition Begins at Sewickley Country Inn

Workers began prepping for demolition this week at the former motel and banquet center.

Ryan Dzadony lives directly across the boulevard from the old Sewickley Country Inn and won’t mind seeing the place torn down.  

“It’ll be nice to see something nice there,” Dzadony said.

Utility workers and crews were at the site on Tuesday prepping for the demolition of the old inn. MCM Ventures, the private developer, is overseeing the process.
