I do not say this often, OK never before in the history of this blog have I uttered the words, and may never again so here goes.
Thank you City Hall!!!!
You may recall back in December, I published “Wrecking Ball on Sullivan Street?” well it took some doing but after much back and forth with all the folks involved, tomorrow at 7:30 AM Stell Enterprises with begin ripping down the burned out eyesore.
The owner of the burned out eyesore was a bit reluctant to say the least, when it came to fulfilling the responsibilities, that any responsible homeowner should be expected to do, when their property is struck by fire.
- File an insurance claim
- Deposit said insurance check
- Hire a licensed contractor to repair or rip down the burned out structure.
Now I agree the owner of the burned out eyesore did complete steps 1 and 2 but failed to even begin step 3 until the City applied months of pressure.
So with that I say Thank You
- Michael Simonson, Assistant Director of Operations: Who was instrumental in coordinating the overall project, from start to finish.
- Greg Barrouk - Director of Economic Development: Who quickly followed up on any, and all problems, questions, and concerns I had throughout the project. NOTE: Folks who know me, know I have tons of them, so this in itself was a rather large undertaking.
- Timothy J. Henry, City Attorney: Who quickly took care of the legal issues as they arose.
Like I said, I don’t get to say this often, but again thanks guys for your outstanding hard work. I truly wish every encounter with City Hall ended with results like these.
Wake Up Wilkes Barre
