Solicitor circulates draft property maintenance ordinance; council discusses contacting Adams Economic Alliance about distressed grocery
Summary
Solicitor Matthew Battersby asked council to review a draft property maintenance ordinance; Council President Patricia Smith suggested consulting Adams Economic Alliance about an unsold, distressed grocery store and the solicitor supported the idea.
Solicitor Matthew Battersby asked council members to read and review a draft property maintenance ordinance he prepared and to advise whether it should be advertised for public review. Council did not vote on the ordinance at the June 23 meeting; the solicitor requested suggested changes or confirmation that the draft is ready for advertisement.
Council President Patricia Smith raised the related concern of a long-unsold grocery store in town that is becoming distressed and asked whether the Borough should contact Robin Fitzpatrick at Adams Economic Alliance to explore options. Solicitor Battersby "agreed that would be a good idea," signaling council interest in pursuing external economic-development assistance alongside potential code tools.
