Council Seeks Demolition Bids

Bushnell, IL – The Bushnell City Council is preparing to demolish up to five dilapidated houses this spring. Mayor Steve Russell says when aldermen first asked for bids, none came in. He says contractors were contracted personally and agreed to submit proposals. Russell says the bids will determine how many of the old homes the city can afford to tear down. He says he city applies liens to the property, but rarely is able to recover the cost of demolition.
