Preservation Commission concerned about early demolition work

Wednesday, November 14, 2012

A property owner proceeded with demolition activity before the application was released Tuesday by the Historic Preservation Commission.

The commission also continued discussions about changing the ordinance language to require interior photos of each room.

Make the owner rebuild it, take pictures, and then tear it down.

Wonder why this town is dieing and no one wants to be annexed?

Why do they want to keep old rotting buidings owned by private owners and prevent new buildings from being constructed? Is this town afraid of progress? Are they afraid to grow?

Wonder why young people do not want to live here.
