A dilapidated downtown North Judson building may soon be heading for demolition. The building at 205 and 207 Lane Street was found last year to have numerous safety violations, including a broken window, unsecured doors, falling debris, and roofing issues.
After town officials determined the owners did not make the required repairs, a motion for default judgment was approved in Starke Circuit Court back in November. Now, newly-appointed town attorney Justin Schramm has been advising the town on how to proceed. Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins says Schramm is currently drafting a letter to the owners of the property.
Collins says if the process moves ahead according to plan, the town council could award a bid for demolition at its March 6 meeting.
