HUNTINGTON â The City of Huntington was down to the wire on meeting its goal of removing 119 structures from its unsafe building list by June 30, but it crossed the finish line.
On Wednesday, the 119th building was demolished and came off the cityâs list. The removal met a goal set by Mayor Steve Williams in October. The initiative is called B.A.N.E. 2.0, or Blight and Nuisance Elimination.
Christal Perry, the cityâs demolition specialist, said it felt great to know the goal was met. Perry said she and the cityâs contractor were worried about weather delays due to rain. The final structure was on Perry Street.
