Last week, the Plymouth City Council unanimously approved a resolution that will transfer money from the Rainy-Day Fund to the Unsafe Building Fund.
The transfer was at the request of Plymouth Building Commissioner Dennis Manuwal.
A couple of weeks ago, the Board of Public Works and Safety awarded the bid to demolish The Pointe at 309 Gibson Street. Since that time, someone has stepped forward with interest and intent to purchase the property and make the required repairs to bring the property up to code. There are several steps for the sale to become a reality.
The demo bid was $55,000, and the Building Commissioner’s funding line needed an additional $20,900 to cover the bid.
When asked if the transfer should be tabled since there is an accepted offer on the building, the clerk said there is a chance the funds will still be needed, and if they aren’t used for the demolition of The Pointe, they will be ready for the next demo.
