The Broad Street Market has been a cornerstone of Harrisburg for more than a century — a place where the community gathered, shared meals, and built memories. When a devastating fire swept through the brick building a few years ago, it left behind not just physical damage, but a deep sense of loss for the neighborhood. Today, PCS is proud to play a role in helping this historic market take its next steps toward renewal.
Working directly for the City of Harrisburg, our team is carefully dismantling what remains inside the brick structure. We are removing the last of the mechanical, electrical, and plumbing components, clearing out damaged roofing and roof structure, and taking down the existing windows, doors, frames, gutters, fans, and the small wood mezzanine. One of the most significant tasks is the removal of a large section of the concrete slab, which will allow for a brand-new slab to be poured — a slab PCS will later polish as part of the building’s transformation.
Much of this work requires precise overhead access, and our crew is utilizing both boom lifts and scissor lifts to safely reach the piping, conduits, framing, exterior fascia, and gutters. Every piece removed brings the structure one step closer to being safe, stable, and ready for restoration.
This project is more than demolition — it’s about preparing the ground for a community space that means so much to so many. PCS is grateful to contribute to the revitalization of a landmark that has served generations, and we look forward to seeing the Broad Street Market come back stronger than ever.
