Blighted properties to enter demolition bid process.

Written by Bethani Cameron

Supervisor Amy Cline gave an update on four blighted homes slated for demolition using Act 152 funds, a state-authorized program that supports removal of structures meeting blight criteria.

The homes are located on Pine Avenue, Mallory Lane, and two on Rainbow Run Road.

She said at least two of the structures are in such poor condition that they are assumed to contain asbestos, as they are too unsafe to conduct formal surveys.

The township engineer provided specifications for the demolition bid, which were shared with the Steel Rivers Council of Governments (SRCOG), which administers the funds for member municipalities. SRCOG will run ads for demolition bids in the Post-Gazette. Bids will be opened on April 30th.
