5601 Bardstown Rd applied for wrecking permit to demolish abandoned building

Merrel Bierman Excavating Inc has submitted a wrecking permit to demolish an abandoned commercial building at 5601 Bardstown Rd owned by THG Bardstown Road Speedway LLC. The one-story, roughly 11,500‑sq‑ft structure (about 30 years old) carries an estimated project cost of $10,000 and the permit remains pending seven required items — think LG&E and AT&T utility clearances, demolition photos and site plan, and a notarized demolition notification affidavit — before work can proceed.
