Falls City Council moves forward with nuisance abatement program

By John Nixon

01/09/2023

(KLZA)-- The Falls City Council last week approved a resolution, authorizing adoption of the Blighted and substandard Abatement / Demolition Program recommended by the Building and Planning Department.

In December, the Council approved setting aside $100 thousand for the abatement program. The funds will be utilized for abatement and demolition of both commercial and residential individual properties to eliminate health and safety hazards and to help mitigate neighborhood property value decline.

In other action, Council members voted to authorize sending a letter of intent to apply for a planning grant for the 2023 Civic & Community Care Financing Fund for a Civic or Recreation Center.

The City is working with Community Medical Center to apply for the financing and eventually a construction grant. The grant would require a fifty-percent match by the City.

The City plans to apply for $15 thousand to complete a planning document for such a facility.
