Anderson Set To Demolish 75 Blighted Homes This Year

The City of Anderson is targeting abandoned homes. Over the last couple of years, Anderson has been using federal funds and private donations combined to demolish run down buildings that attract crime, lower property values, and stifle growth. Last year, the program brought down 70 houses in the Anderson area. The goal for the city is to knock down 75 more blighted homes by the end of the year.
