NEODESHA AWARDED DEMOLITION GRANT (April 2009)
In April, 2009, the City of Neodesha was awarded a $126,822 Community Development Block Grant that will be used for the demolition of dangerous, abandoned, and condemned structures in the community. At the time that the City submitted an application for the grant, there were approximately 42 structures identified as candidates for the program. Of the 42 structures, the City had either received permission from the owner to demolish the structure, or the City had commenced condemnation procedures on the properties. The final count of structures is yet to be determined, as a few have already been demolished, yet another group of structures have been identified that may be good candidates for the project. Under the program, which uses federal funds, the owners retain ownership of the property and no costs are assessed to the owners. Owners of dilapidated, dangerous or run-down properties that are not yet in the program are encouraged to contact City Administrator J. D. Cox at City Hall at 620-325-2828 x205 to inquire about having their structure included in the this project. Demolition is expected to commence in October 2009.
