State may have knowingly hired shady business for Deutsche Bank demolition

State development officials may have known about the John Galt
Corporation’s shady past when it hired it to tear down the Deutsche
Bank building in 2006, which resulted in a fire on the site, killing
two firefighters. Some of Galt’s top executives had worked for another
company called the Safeway Environmental Corporation, which the city’s
Department of Investigation had a history of problems with, including
integrity, competence and financial issues. City investigators accused
development officials of knowing about Galt’s questionable ties before
hiring the company to demolish the Deutsche Bank building.
