What’s your ‘pet eyesore’ in Middletown?
No matter how big or small a community might be, eyesores such as dilapidated buildings, houses, properties, etc., are something that every community has in common.
Among the Agenda 2008 priorities that Middletown City Council has set this year are finding ways to address these issues because they are a quality of life issue. It also makes it that much harder for city officials to sell the community to prospective industries and businesses to create the jobs our community needs.
Many people can agree on what should be done, but as the community is also finding out with Middletown’s streets, it’s going to take some money and don’t look for the state of Ohio or the federal government to write the check to make things better.
So for the weekend, we’d like you to tell us where some of your “pet eyesores” and nuisance properties are in Middletown as well as sharing your thoughts on how to pay for abating these issues. It’s very easy to identify the problem, but it’s much harder to come up with ideas on how to pay for addressing them.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts and ideas.
