TOWN OF MARION ACCEPTING DONATION OF DILAPIDATED HOMES

The Town of Marion is accepting dilapidated houses for donation. Town officials say that it is an effort to improve the community, they are accepting dilapidated houses for donation. The town has already acquired eight houses and is working with property owners on another three. One home was donated by a bank, the town purchased a couple at a tax sale, and a couple other homes were donated to clear up the taxes. The town's dilapidated homes remain on the tax rolls, which can cause a financial burden for owners. Marion hopes to see new homes built in place of the dilapidated houses.
