Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg and other officials gave a what they called a final update on the Applegate Lane site Thursday morning.

It has been a slow process on Applegate Lane, as heavy machinery continues to remove the home piece by piece.

Last month, a judge lowered Marc Hibel's bond, allowing him to post $10,000 and be released on HIP as long as he undergoes in-patient mental health and addiction treatment for two weeks.

The EPA began the demolition process by removing structural parts of the home.

The house on Applegate Lane is scheduled to be knocked down the week of Oct. 16.

Leaders said crews will remain on site as a precaution, but they do not foresee people needing to leave their homes.

Officials with the EPA will talk about the plans, which they said include a controlled and mechanical approach to demolishing the home.

Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg called it a "controlled mechanical demolition of the property."

The motion states Marc Hibel is a former chemist who had many roles that included overseeing the safe handling, transport and disposal of potentially volatile chemicals.
