CHILLICOTHE, Ohio — The City of Chillicothe’s Building Department announced a collaboration with the Ross County Land Bank to help revitalize dilapidated structures throughout the city.
Officials with the city say the Ross County Land Bank has been awarded a more than $600,000 grant from the Ohio Department of Development “to use for the demolition of vacant and blighted properties.”
The city said they provided the Land Bank with a list of properties recommended for demolition by the Chillicothe Police and Fire Departments.
The building department says they will “continue to work collaboratively on the list of properties and with the property owners to revitalize properties when possible or eliminate blight and nuisance when rehabbing is not feasible.”
