10/25/12- The Fowlerville Village Council addressed the issue of a blighted property on South Grand River Avenue in the downtown area at Monday nightâs meeting. Council members would like to see the property demolished as part of their efforts to ârefurbish downtownâ and make the property safer for the community. Village attorney David Stoker tells WHMI that the building's walls are bulging, and it is a big safety concern in downtown Fowlerville. The property was sold at a tax-auction to a company that no longer exists. At this point the South Grand River property has more than $3,000 in delinquent taxes. Council members donât think that there is any need to rush the process of demolishing the building considering that there are currently no issues with trespassers on the property. The Village Council is considering waiting until March to obtain the title to the land. They will revisit the issue within the next few weeks. (SO)
