A heavy-equipment operator removes the debris from a condemned structure that is being removed from a southwest Muskogee neighborhood. The project is one of about 150 included in the Foundation 400 Demolition Program, which was funded by a $1 million grant awarded by the City of Muskogee Foundation and matching funds from revenue generated by a five-year 0.18 percent sales tax approved by voters in June 2014.
