Summary
The council awarded a demolition contract for 1911 Broadway to Kenneth Hails Excavating for $18,900, citing high visibility and problems with people squatting in the property; the motion passed unanimously.
The Mount Vernon City Council voted March 3 to accept the low bid from Kenneth Hails Excavating to demolish the house at 1911 Broadway.
Assistant City Manager Nathan McKenna said the property had become a problem for neighboring businesses because homeless individuals had been squatting in the house.
