County project update: presenter says 'the school is officially done'; demolition work ongoing with about 30 properties planned
Summary
A presenter updated commissioners on a demolition grant and related projects: abatement is nearly finished, six houses were slated for demolition (one remaining), and the presenter said the school is 'officially done'; an auction was announced but the transcript's date/time wording is unclear.
An unidentified presenter gave a progress report on the Michigan branch/HPM front building demolition grant at the Morrow County meeting on Sept. 8, 2025.
The presenter reported, "the school is officially done," and provided details on demolition work: six houses were part of the demolition scope, with four already completed and one remaining to be demolished; abatement work is nearly finished on the site. The presenter also referenced an additional demolition project near I‑70 and said the county's broader goal is to remove about 30 properties in the Pitt Lakes area.
The presenter announced an upcoming auction; the transcript records the wording as "our auction coming up on, the 20 ninth, Monday, at, 5 cam with 04:17 West Green." That phrasing in the record is unclear and the precise date, time and location should be verified from the county auction notice or published minutes.
What was not in the record: specific timelines for completing the remaining demolition, funding amounts for the grant, environmental mitigation details, and any relocation or compensation terms for property owners. Those details were not specified in the transcript and would require staff follow-up or review of supporting documents.
What happens next: County staff are expected to continue abatement and demolition work and to publicize auction details; the transcript does not record formal board direction, vote or follow-up deadlines tied to the presentation.
