Input Is Sought On Island Demolition Project

I checked the Ohio county tax records on the internet and they only show one house on North Huron Street . I thought all the tax records were to be on the site. Now that what I call selective public records. I hope the 911 system shows more or there could be law suits.

I just wonder where they get the figure of $200,000 to fix the place back up came from. This is how figures are used in government when "they" want something done. Make a ordinance that all homes in this area are to have insurance to keep from spending CDBG money.

You mean taxpayer money will tear down this house? What Island slumlord/lawyer/banker is using the system to tear down his burned-out rental? In a historic district? Maybe like the ones in Center Wheeling? I doubt it!

WHAT!

Does Victor Greco mean like, let's say, Mount de Chantal?

West Virginia's Historic Preservation Office has failed many times. (Remember BLAIR MOUNTAIN)

We all know that money is the first thing on all of West Virginia's politicians minds.
