Tupelo council accepts conveyance and approves demolition of three surplus structures
Summary
The council voted to accept conveyance of three properties (1905 Forest Street, 1193 Kelly Street, 508 Brown Street), declare the structures surplus and authorize demolition; council members noted their ward locations.
The Tupelo City Council voted Dec. 2 to accept conveyance of three properties and to declare the structures located at 1905 Forest Street, 1193 Kelly Street and 508 Brown Street surplus to city needs and authorized their demolition.
The item had been added to the agenda earlier in the meeting. During consideration a council member noted ward locations for the properties, saying one is not in Ward 4 and the other two are in East Tupelo.
Councilors moved and seconded the order to accept conveyance, declare the structures surplus and authorize demolition; the motion passed on a voice vote.
Why it matters: Accepting conveyance and declaring structures surplus allows the city to take ownership of the properties and move forward with demolition and any subsequent property disposition processes. The council did not discuss detailed timelines or contractor selections during the meeting.
