Some Properties Demolished; Some Sold

Bradford City Council on Tuesday approved the sale of 57 Sherman Street to Dr. and Mrs. Gerald Hull.

The property is currently in the McKean County Tax Repository. The vacant house that used to be on the property was destroyed by fire on March 10.

The Bradford Area School Board approved the $400 sale during its meeting Monday night.

Council also agreed to pay Bob Cummins Construction $3,642 from the OECD’s 2009 Community Development Block Grant Project Account as a reimbursement for payment of landfill disposal costs for the demolition of 300 South Avenue and 49 West Corydon Street.

Council also accepted a quote from 6-V Excavation, Demolition and Tree Removal for the demolition of 69 West Corydon Street. The company submitted the lowest of three quotes -- $7,100.

Part of the money -- $4,100 – will come from the city’s Emergency Demolition Account. The rest will come from the 2009 CDBG Project Account.

As for new houses, the city has executed a sale agreement for 55 Cole Avenue with John and Debra Jo Place for $98,500.

“Good job Sara,” Mayor Tom Riel said to OECD Executive Director Sara Andrews. The house is in the Elm Street (Project Pride) Neighborhood, which is run by the OECD. “More on the tax rolls.”
