What a Difference a Day Makes
By John T. Ryan
The deteriorating 39 Bend Street property looked much better late Wednesday after Town of Peru Highway personnel cleaned up the property and laid down topsoil. No action was taken on the house because it has been deemed unsafe to enter to conduct asbestos testing. The Town Board expects Clinton County to seize the property in 2019 for non-payment of taxes. Hopefully, the building will then be demolished.
Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald made the following facebook entry: “I can’t thank our Highway Superintendent Mike Farrell and the Highway employees along with Bob Guynup our Code Officer and Town Attorney Matthew G. Favro enough!!! And I can’t forget New England Waste who gave us a 40 yard dumpster and don’t charge the Town a penny to take all the trash!! For all their hard work and dedication to get help get the town cleaned up. We will continue to get things cleaned up it may not happen overnight but we will continue trying for sure. Next week the county will be over there to hydro seed it for free!!”
