MURRYSVILLE COUNCIL REJECTS PLANS FOR VACANT PROPERTY REGISTRY

Murrysville council has rejected plans for a vacant property registry.  The Trib reports that municipal officials received significant feedback on the proposed registry that would have established a fee schedule for vacant properties and that fee rising each year the properties remain vacant.  While Chief Administrator Michael Nestico said the ordinance was intended for properties with vacant structures rather than wooded areas or unimproved parcels, township residents against it said the draft ordinance didn’t look that way.
