Jackson places lean against property for demolition work
By Evan Carden Special to The Democrat

The Jackson City Council voted Tuesday, to place a $10,000 lean against a piece of property located at the corner of Depot Road and Industrial Road for work the city did in removing an unsightly structure.

The decision was approved in accordance with the city's ordinance involving the demolition of abandoned structures deemed unsafe. An abandoned building was torn down on the piece of property after repeated attempts to get the owner to comply with the ordinance failed.

Mayor Richard Long indicated that all the proper procedures were followed prior to demolition of the structure at the city's expense. The lean will be placed on the property until cost for the cleanup is paid in full to the city.

City hires grant consultant During Tuesday's meeting, the council approved a motion to hire Janie Gailbraith as a grant consultant to obtain state and federal grants for industrial prospects.

Council members voted unanimously to approve the motion after Major Long explained that Gailbraith will only be paid when she is successful in obtaining grant monies for the city.
