Tarentum is on the verge of getting the vast majority of the borough’s blighted and abandoned buildings torn down, code enforcement Officer Anthony Bruni said.
Bruni said bids for 16 upcoming demolitions came in under budget, which he said could allow council to seek bids on more properties.
At its meeting Tuesday, council awarded two demolition contracts for the properties totaling $116,300. Eight companies submitted bids for each contract.
