Anderson County, SC (April 24, 2023) – Anderson County Council is pleased to announce the demolition of distressed structures within the County. Funds are in the budget to remove these nuisance properties, and the Council has contracted to eliminate these ten structures from our community.
The South Anderson Community Project received $53,480 for demolishing distressed or abandoned properties at 311 and 314 Corning, 3305 and 3308 Vaughn, 3340 Keys, and 209 Marion Streets. The demolition will be completed by July fourth, 2023; a Community Development Block Grant provides funding for these structures’ removal.
The Anderson County Council has approved funding for demolishing four additional properties in the Anderson County Miscellaneous Project. The Council sets aside funding each fiscal year to remove blight structures throughout the county. The houses scheduled to be removed and cleaned up by July fourth are 5 Hammett, 8 N. Prince, and 401 Hall Streets in Anderson. The fourth property is at 17 Lopez Street in Pelzer.
“The presence of such eyesores has been a real hazard for these communities,” said Tommy Dunn, Council Chairman. “We work hard to provide funding to clean up our County, and now residents in the area will finally be able to say goodbye to the dilapidated structures.”
