Picture This: Parkersburg Razes House on Market Street
An excavator from Jimmie Harper Construction tears down a house at 1303 Market St. as part of the City of Parkersburg’s Residential Assisted Demolition program. Development Director Ryan Barber said the program allows property owners to voluntarily choose to have a structure that cannot be rehabilitated demolished. The city covers all costs and places a two-year, forgivable lien on the property that is removed if the owner maintains it for two years with no code violations or builds a new home on the site.
