Officials in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, are working to demolish a handful of vacant homes that have been the site of squatting and drug use, according the local fire chief.
"They actually were cooking with fire in the building," Frye told Trib Live. "They had a fire inside the floor and were cooking Chef Boyardee raviolis."Squatters were heating up cans of Chef Boyardee on an open fire in a house.
Officials are hoping to use funds from the American Rescue Plan to tear the 10 vacant homes down, while dozens of other dilapidated homes are awaiting consideration to also be deemed public nuisances and eventually demolished. "It’s a blessing for a lot of people to take this pressure off," Mayor Curtis Antoniak said, according to Trib Live. "It’s a wonderful, wonderful thing the county is doing for these people."
Frye said another vacant home on Third Street was reportedly used by kids to play inside, leaving accumulated trash.Officials in Jeannette, Pennsylvania, are working to demolish homes that are dilapidated and the site of squatter activity.
