This resolution would declare them blighted under Statute Section 19.5. The properties are $1,000 each for a total of $5,000. Commission approval is requested.

The blighted properties are a unique opportunity to pick up 5 lots outside the tax sale process at a lesser amount of money. These are standard size city lots along Euclid.
