PARKERSBURG The Wood County Commission discussed dilapidated properties on Monday and took action to begin the process of demolishing a couple.
Wood County Compliance Officer Sarah Robinson briefed the commission on properties where action may need to be taken and others where action will be taken to deal with trash and debris.
She was contacted by the Humane Society of Parkersburg after it was called to 3432 Elizabeth Pike in the Mineral Wells area in regard to animals, including chickens, that were roaming the property and inside the house there.
“There was trash all over the place,” Robinson said.

PARKERSBURG The Wood County Commission approved new appointments and hirings, while expressing concerns on the states proposed elimination of personal property tax during its Thursday morning meeting.
Commissioners approved the nomination of Jessica Emrick, Chris Swarr, Gary Thompson, Andrew Borkowski and Bob Buchanan to the Wood County Parks and Recreation Commission at Mountwood Park.
Commission President Blair Couch said Emrick will be a new addition to the commission, replacing Patsy Hardy, who resigned a year ago.
“Jessica looks to be a good addition to the board. She grew up in Waverly and remembers fishing there as a young child, and uses the park pretty substantially,” Couch said.
