CSX Real Property President Stephen Beck said Wednesday he's given supporters of the Hagerstown roundhouse until July 10 to save the railroad buildings from demolition.
Beck said he has asked the demolition contractors whether costs would rise if they delayed razing the property for 30 or 60 days, but hadn't received an answer on Wednesday.
Beck said CSX officials will continue efforts to get a demolition permit so the demolition can proceed if progress isn't made in efforts to save the 40-acre complex along South Burhans Boulevard.
Hagerstown Roundhouse Museum Inc. President Bob Tracey said museum officials could use a 30- to 60-day extension since it could take that long to get answers to environmental questions about the property and get a fund-raiser started.
