The City recently ordered the owner of the burned-out Morton Avenue warehouse to demolish the structure and clear the huge industrial lot, possibly leading to a taxpayer funded cleanup.
The owner of the burned-out warehouse on Morton Avenue has until Sept. 24 to clear the property, according to a recent order from the building commission.
The cleanup would be a huge expense, requiring the demolition of the remaining structures and the removal of acres of bricks and steel that cover the lots north of the Lloyd Expressway in Jimtown.
The property is owned by an entity controlled by Owen Snodgrass Jr. of Boonville. He hasn’t responded to inquiries from the City-County Observer made since January. The owner stopped paying taxes on the properties involved after it was destroyed by fire in 2022. The entity currently owes about $48,000 in property taxes and penalties.
The City-County Observer first reported on the ignored property posted below.
