WTAJ REPORTS THAT OFFICIALS HAVE DISCUSSED PLANS TO RENNOVATE THE BLAIR HOUSE APARTMENTS WHICH SUFFERED TWO DEVESTATING FIRES SINCE 2020. BOROUGH CODE ENFORCEMENT DIRECTOR JIM MORRIS REPORTED THAT THE BUILDING IS STILL STRUCTURALLY SOUND, AND IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON TO RESTORING ITS LIVING CAPABILITIES. 59 RESIDENTS WERE PUT OUT OF THEIR HOMES AFTER TWO FIRES INFLICTED HEAVY DAMAGE. THE BAD NEWS IS THAT THE ENTIRE INSIDE OF THE BUILDING WILL HAVE TO BE GUTTED. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT THE TENNANTS WILL NOT HAVE TO SHELL OUT A PENNY FOR THE PROJECT, WHICH WILL BE HANDELED BY PRIVATE MONEY. THE COST IS ESTIMATED TO BE AROUND $10 MILLION.
