Newtown considers funding to demolish burnt out home

The Newtown Legislative Council next week will consider a nearly $30,000 allocation to demolish a home in the Hawleyville section of town that was destroyed by a suspicious fire in June 2011.  The Board of Selectmen addressed the issue at their meeting last week and were told that the insurance company hasn't paid the homeowner, who can't afford to take down the house. 

 

Officials say the remains of the Great Hill Road home is a public safety issue for the neighborhood.  A court order allows the town to demolish it, and the town will then put a lien on the property, though First Selectman Pat Llodra told the Board of Finance this week that it's unlikely the town will get any of its money back. 

 

The Legislative Council will mee on Wednesday.
