City explores options for Restore NY program
NORWICH – After receiving a high bid to move a Canasawacta Street home to a site on Fair Street, the City of Norwich is re-examining its options.
Early this year, Norwich received $300,000 as part of the Restore New York Grant Program. The grant provides funds to demolish condemned city-owned properties and to place new homes on the properties.
So far, the city has demolished burned out homes located at 52 Fair St. and 23 Grove Ave. Originally, the city had planned to move the Canasawacta house, located on property owned by the Chenango Valley Home. If the house remains in its current location, it will most likely be demolished.
After receiving one bid for the move of the house which was significantly higher than anticipated, the city rejected the bid and re-bid the moving of the house while simultaneously gathering bids for the construction of a new house on Fair Street. The figures will be compared to determine which action will be more cost effective.
The third property that is part of the grant program is a trailer at 7 Waite St. The trailer is scheduled to be removed Sept. 22.
Mayor Joseph Maiurano said the city may see a cost savings if the three properties where new homes are to be constructed are bid as a group.
Once the houses are built, the properties will be sold. Originally, the city had planned to offer the homes at a reduced cost to first-time home buyers. However, the specific details of that program will not be confirmed until the cost of the new home construction is determined.
