A flurry of activity at the old Gabe’s Tower as the Environmental Demolition Group of Erlanger is busy with interior demolition, clearing out the asbestos-laden exterior panels and faulty exterior glass, along with interior paneling. Charles Leachman, of Linebach Funkhouser Inc. of Louisville, an environmental consulting company hired by the new owners of the Tower, says the demolition should be done by Thanksgiving. Professional Hospitality Services of Milwaukee say their plan calls for the hotel to reopen as a 120-room midrange, franchise hotel with a steakhouse restaurant and bar on the 12th floor and one floor converted to banquet space. They said they plan to spend about $6 million to reopen the long-closed property.
