Bids Open Dec 26 for Demolition of Six Bluefield Buildings
Bluefield officials plan to open bids on December 26 to demolish six condemned structures as part of a broader effort to remove dangerous uninhabitable buildings. City building inspector Gerald Steele notes the project aims to improve neighborhood safety and curb decay, funded by a $160,000 Small Cities Block Grant. The city has been demolishing condemned structures since 2004, with about 25 houses removed recently, and plans to continue beyond grant expiry while holding owners accountable. Demolition of the next six buildings is set to begin in early January.
