The owners of a building on Dillon's Main Street argued to the Dillon Town Council that the building's collapsing roof qualified as blight, making it eligible for Dillon Urban Renewal Authority funds.
Formerly a medical office building, 103 Main St. has been vacant for several years. The Urban Renewal Authority previously voted down a proposal from the owners, Dillon Development Co. LLC, to sell town-owned land for a new building project.
After discussion, the council approved approximately $64,000 of Urban Renewal Authority funds for the roof repair.
The building's collapsing roof qualified as blight.
