Residents press commissioners on abandoned, burned buildings near Wolf Point
Summary
Residents raised concerns about abandoned commercial buildings in Wolf Point, citing a burned structure near the Sherman Inn and asking whether a county–city MOU, liens, or GNDC grant funds could be used to address the problem.
Tori Matejovsky and Nicole Miller used the public comment period to press the Roosevelt County Commission on abandoned and burned-out commercial properties around Wolf Point, specifically pointing to a burned building near the Sherman Inn and asking what remedies are available.
The pair asked about the process for a memorandum of understanding between the County and the City, the use of liens, and whether GNDC grant funding could be applied to identify and remediate commercial buildings. The transcript records that the commissioners discussed options including contacting property owners and the possibility of GNDC receiving a grant to help identify problem properties; no formal directive or vote was recorded.
Commissioner Gordon Oelkers opened the March 4 meeting and the topic was raised during public comment; the record does not attribute a definitive follow-up step beyond placing the issue into discussion. The meeting minutes note that county staff and commissioners discussed contacting owners, but the transcript does not specify which office will lead next steps or any timeline.
