Athens County approves 19 demolitions under HAPCAP program, commissioners record votes
Summary
The Board of Commissioners approved demolition and site revitalization for 19 vacant, blighted residential structures under HAPCAP; the minutes list owners and parcel numbers and record the roll call with one commissioner absent.
The Athens County Board of Commissioners voted on Nov. 12 to approve 19 Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program demolitions for properties the board found vacant, blighted or unsafe. The motion authorized participation in the HAPCAP program and listed each owner and parcel number in the meeting record.
Commissioner Chris Chmiel seconded the motion moved by Commissioner Charlie Adkins; the roll call in the minutes shows Commissioner Eliason absent and both Commissioners Chmiel and Adkins voting yea. The properties include addresses in Athens, Nelsonville, Glouster, Chauncey, Jacksonville and Trimble; owners and parcels are recorded in the minutes for official documentation.
The action instructs program staff and county officials to proceed with demolition and site revitalization under the HAPCAP rules with owner consent where obtained. The minutes do not list estimated demolition costs per property; funding is administered through the Building Demolition and Site Revitalization Program paperwork adopted in the meeting.
The board also recorded other consent motions in the same meeting, including budget presentations and routine approvals.
