Sherman s Quality Neighborhood Program hits 120 demolitions for 2020

Herald Democrat Over the past four years, the city of Sherman has worked to increase efficiencies in the way it addresses dilapidated and blighted buildings. In that time, the city has taken steps to bring to bring new leadership and new crews to handle these demolitions. Now, the city is showing results. City officials recently said the city is on pace to demolish between 100 and 120 blighted homes and other structures a year up from the 15 to 20 it was doing prior to reforms to the program. The topic of demolitions and the city s Quality Neighborhoods Program have been a point of discussion throughout the city s budget season. One of the questions that city leaders are considering is a proposed increase to the program s scope to escalate these efforts even further.

Howe, Sherman wastewater dispute continues

Howe, Sherman wastewater dispute continues Herald Democrat After more than a year of discussions, Howe and Sherman have made little progress in resolving a dispute over unpaid water treatment.  Representatives for Sherman recently said Howe remains in debt related to sewage treatment dating back over two years. In August 2020, Sherman officials said the city of Howe owed nearly $384,000 in debt in past wastewater treatment fees. However, that total has continued to rise amid heavy rains over the past year and issues with Howe s aging water infrastructure. Howe remains in arrears on their sewer bill to the tune of a half-million dollars, but we continue to communicate with their city leadership to find a solution that works for both communities, Sherman Community and Support Service Manager Nate Strauch said.  We’re hopeful to come to terms on a payment plan that will ensure the citizens of Sherman no longer have to foot the bill to treat Howe’s sewage.
