Former Missile Site to Be Demolished by City
City officials are planning to demolish a building that was formerly used as a Nike missile storage site to make room for a car dealership.
The city plans to spend $17,815 to remove asbestos from the building and $14,500 to demolish it. The site is adjacent to the Torrance Municipal Airport and was used to store missiles during the Cold War.
The missiles were removed more than a decade ago and several of the buildings on the five-acre property were demolished to make room for commercial development.
