Demolition program aims to clear blighted houses
Bluefield officials outline a city funded demolition plan to address dangerous dilapidated buildings. An excavator and a bulldozer were funded to reopen a former landfill for demolition debris and supply cover material. About 30 houses are ready for demolition with more added monthly as the plan progresses. City Manager Mark Henne says the approach is the most cost effective solution to improve safety and property values while residents await results.
