During the Jan. 13 meeting’s public-comment period, Tracy Gregory told the Tioga County Commissioners a church in Liberty Borough is at risk of falling onto neighboring property and that the current owner lacks insurance or funds to demolish it. Gregory provided three contractor quotes for demolition: $20,795.70; $21,389; and $67,000, and asked the county for financial assistance.
The minutes record that the board said it would consult with the county solicitor about the request. The minutes do not indicate whether the county will fund the demolition or the legal mechanism by which the county might proceed; follow-up with the county solicitor or meeting attachments is required for details.
