Germania Circle Flood Relief $1,075,000.00

Joe, 

There are six houses that have a property line on Germania Circle. Here are five of them. The CIP has $1,075,000.00 budgeted to buy these houses and tear them down for a park that will still flood. 

That's $180k EACH! 

I have a house for sale not in a flood zone in a nice neighborhood that can be lived in! I'll sell it for $180k any day! 

Btw, the posted CIP got shortened to 27 pages out of the 294. Was that you, or someone else? 

Here's the link to the copy on the City's site.

180k to buy AND TEAR DOWN.

You don't seem to understand how expensive demolition is, especially considering the contaminants that are almost certainly present in these buildings and soils.

Also, the flooding here looks like it has a lot to do with poor drainage, rather than location.

Full disclosure, I don't work for the city or county so I really don't care either way. I just wanted to bring some things up for a discussion.

Isn't that where esteemed City Council Eugenie Shields camps out until she can run the property into the ground?
And now, apparently, get PAID well for doing it?

She moved out of there about a year ago after her relatives overfilled the place.

economic value of each lot with improvements is $45K. Just another example of government not knowing what they are doing. I got some oceanfront land in Arizona. Interested?

is there any collusion with property owners?

So how much of this money goes to the property owners and how much goes to the demolition company? No offense, but the houses don't look very valuable. Do the occupants get any kind of moving expenses?

Why does the city of Salisbury need a park in the Ghetto anyway?

Wicomico County has many and I mean many parks throughout the county. Why does the City of Salisbury need it's own Parks and Rec's department When Wicomico County has one.

Something else for Jim Ireton to use as an excuse for the tax differential.

Nothing like duplicating services with the county.

By the way have you ever noticed how many people go to these parks throughout the county?? Pretty much NONE!!

Why demolish the buildings? Let the fire department use it for training then burn it down for free.

This "circle" is 150 feet from the river. For the million dollars, what say I dig in a storm drain to the Ribber and call it a day? The elevation of this land is the same as Perdue Processing Facility another 200 feet away, and they somehow don't need millions from City taxpayers to move their plant.
