Houses come down in Logan

(Herald Journal) Gaping holes are what’s left on the corner of 200 East and 500 North in Logan where city crews are demolishing three vacant homes to create space for future infrastructure improvements.

The 200 East properties between 469 and 493 North were purchased from Logan city by the Environmental Department in October 2009 with the intention of building a glass and cardboard recycling drop site east of the Cache Valley Transit District’s Transit Center.

Department director Issa Hamud declined to discuss the matter over the phone in accordance with the city’s new policy involving media contact. In a written statement, he noted that the properties have been slated for demolition since November.

“The properties have been demolished to provide space for a recycling drop-site that once existed just east of the Cache Valley Transit District Center,” he wrote, “and to possibly provide additional property that can be sold to the CVTD or some other interested buyer.”
