A week after a July 3 blaze at the former Printing and Finishing plant in Rock Hill, the property's owner, Lynn Stephenson, says plans have been underway for a while concerning the demolition of the property.

{Stephenson #1 7-10-09} 0:30 Q: ...demolition.

Stephenson says while the process has had several setbacks, once the final plans are approved, the demolition will start quite quickly.

{Stephenson #2 7-10-09} 0:10 Q: ...demolition.

However, After a second fire flared up Friday afternoon in a different area of the property, investigators are leaning towards the notion that the fire was intentionally set. City officials say that Stephenson, who has owned the property for nearly ten years, must provide additional security to the facility.

Stephenson has refused to do so, saying the 1-million-acre plant would cost too much to protect, and the city should be responsible for it.

The Rock Hill Printing and Finishing Plant, formerly owned by the Springs Corporation, opened in 1929 and employed thousands of workers in the upstate.
