Ronceverte council approves demolition of dilapidated structure at 200 Academy Street
Summary
Ronceverte City Council approved the demolition of a dilapidated building at 200 Academy Street, scheduled for Jan. 29, 2025, after the mayor read a notice from the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation; Empire Salvage & Recycling is listed as the contractor.
RonceverteCity Council voted Jan. 13 to approve demolition of a dilapidated structure at 200 Academy Street, with work scheduled for Jan. 29, 2025. Mayor Deena Pack read a notice provided by the Greenbrier Valley Economic Development Corporation announcing the demolition and naming Empire Salvage & Recycling as the contractor.
The decision followed a brief public hearing. Councilmember Mark Trent moved to approve the demolition as proposed; City Recorder Leah Smith seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously in favor. The council had earlier closed the regular meeting to open the second public hearing on the matter.
Why it matters: the scheduled demolition removes a structure the council characterized as dilapidated and sets a contractor and date, which enables the city to coordinate site access and any required notifications. The record shows the demolition is slated for Jan. 29, 2025; the minutes do not specify further details such as permits, remediation plans, or neighborhood notifications.
Next steps: the demolition is scheduled to be completed by Empire Salvage & Recycling on Jan. 29, 2025, per the notice read at the hearing. The minutes do not record any additional conditions or appeals filed at the hearing.
