City continues spring cleanup of properties

City Council approved the demolition of buildings on four more properties at its regular March 31 meeting. In discussion on ongoing cleanup, properties such as the White Top Mo-tel demolition are going to cost taxpayers to clear.

The four new properties approved for demolition are: 714 N Riedel St., 117 S Riedel St.,136 S Riedel St., 143 S Riedel St., and 21105 N Mehnert St.
