The Bourbon Town Council continues to tackle the task of attending to vacant and unsafe buildings.
A home at 207 North Park Avenue that the town holds several liens on due to non-payments will be torn down.
Bill Keyser, zoning/building, said the owner of the property is no longer communicating with him and he advised that the structure be leveled. A garage on the site appears to be sound and will be left standing.
A storage building located at the Little League Diamond will be torn down and replaced with a new shed. Keyser said the quote to make needed repairs was $2,240 and a new building was quoted at $2,345. The council voted unanimously to purchase the new model.
A building on Main St. in the downtown area has now been deemed vacant and unsafe. The building was the former site of the News Mirror and is commonly referred to as the Pilot Building; however, the building is not owned by the newspaper. Keyser will now take further steps to resolve the problems with the site.
