Per Petersburg People's News, the City Council of P'burg recently approved ordinances that will provide a rental home inspection program, simplify fee structures, and require vacant structures to be registered.
All of these are great ideas. I'm most excited about the vacant structure registration. This will hold building owners accountable and reduce blight downtown.
The Petersburg People's News says that temporarily vacant structures won't require registration. I'm interested in hearing how long a structure would have to be vacant to be considered temporarily vacant.
I know the firm that owns the buildings that house The Oak Antique Mall, Java Mio, and The Pink Scottie owns several other buildings around town that are vacant. Does anyone know if they have any plans for those buildings? Will they have to register those buildings? Why does a company in Utah own so many buildings in Petersburg? They've done a great job with the buildings that have businesses in them, but I'm concerned about their other buildings and the plans for those buildings.
