The Big Rapids City Commission approved a resolution to accept bids and approve asbestos removal and demolition of a home on W. Bellevue.

 

The cost of the demolition and asbestos removal will cost $21,876.

 

The two bids received came from Brad Lubahn & Sons for the removal of asbestos in the amount of $9,876.00 and the bid of Morningstar Enterprises for the demolition in the amount of $12,000.00.

 

Action on the property will be taking place within the next 60 days.

 

City officials say it's still unclear what the future holds for the property.

 

Neighborhood Services Director Paula Priebe mentioned a couple of options, giving the property to the housing commission or giving the property to Habitat for Humanity.

 

She told city commissioners the Planning Commission's recommendation back in July when the city purchased the land was to use it for housing.
