Buildings come down through D&D program

Howe Excavating worked to finish demolishing the house at 315 E. 15th St. N. The crew started last week on the house that the city purchased for $7,000 as a part of the Dangerous and Dilapidated program. At the time of purchase, the house was assessed at $38,250. Over the coming months, many more buildings that were acquired through the D&D program will be torn down. "Removal of this structure would be of benefit to the neighborhood as the majority of the homes in the surrounding area are well maintained," said Erin Chambers, director of planning and zoning.
