Council votes to demolish homes

The Olney City Council voted to move forward with the first demolitions of dozens of derelict homes and structures that harbored criminal activity and were believed to be holding down property values across the City. The Council heard reports and recommendations from Police Chief Dan Birbeck and code enforcement officers Det. Dustin Hudson and Cpl. Joe Logan about the first four properties to face the wrecking ball. They are 406 S. Ave. F, 205 E. York St., 205 W. Cherry St. and 1005 W. Payne St.
