The county wants to use Federal monies to do the demolition but the state says the property may be historic and therefore stalled by an Ohio Historical Society opinion that the building is eligible for National Register of Historic Places listing.
Miami County would be required to follow an appeal process that includes a public hearing. Section 106 review where the public may present evidence that the property does meet historic criteria. An agreement with the historical society including a building history and photos also would be needed.
It does not mean doesn’t mean the county wouldn’t be allowed to demolish the house but that they first must have a public process in order to use Federal funds.
During that time between the required hearings, commissioners agreed other options would be explored, including whether the house could be sold for $1 and moved.
The Section 106 review process is REQUIRED when federal monies are used much. A process the City of Cincinnati continuously tries to circumvent.
