Disused for over a decade, the old Country Hearth Inn on Old Dixie Highway is facing a county injunction and possible demolition. The owners have not been responsive to the county’s demands for cooperation. The image is part of the court documents in a suit against the owners.
Flagler County government has filed suit to condemn and demolish the long-derelict, yellowed motel that’s vexed law enforcement, residents and county code enforcement officials for years near Dixie Commons along South Old Dixie Highway, not far from the interchange with I-95. The property owners have stopped responding to the county’s attempts to resolve the problem amicably, refusing to acknowledge so much as a letter that was to be handed to them in person last month.
