The Mount Pleasant City Council has awarded a demolition contract to Kinney and Sons in the amount of $14,499.00 for a project on Harrison Street. In February the City purchased a property at 102 N. Harrison. According to Building and Zoning Administrator Jack Swarm the house on the property is severely deteriorated and it is not feasible to make repairs. Swarm has identified multiple nuisances. Therefore, the house will be torn down. A pine tree on the property will remain.
The City Council, at a recent meeting, approved a site plan for the construction of townhouses in the 600 blocks of West Washington and West Monroe. The submitted plan is for a project to construct four townhome buildings containing a total of nineteen units. The site includes a double car garage for each individual unit. The City has agreed to install the sanitary sewer for the development.
