The replacement of the shingles on the Bluffton town hall clock tower roof came to a sudden halt last week, according to Jamie Mehaffie, village administrator.
“Frost Roofing was able to get the layer of shingles off, but discovered that a layer of asbestos shingles was under that layer,” said Mehaffie.
“These shingles were not able to be detected prior to the removal of the top layer. As environmental regulations have changed since the roof was last re-shingled, we have no choice but to have the asbestos shingles properly removed and disposed of,” he added.
