Constantine Village Manager Mark Honeysett has been directed to take bids on demolition of the Clare Hoffman house, which is owned by the village.
Located at 270 E. Water St., the house requires rehabilitation at a cost of more than $200,000, and probably considerably more to meet ADA standards, Honeysett said.
The village received $221,000 in American Rescue Plan Acts funding, of which $159,000 is to be used to pay for the village’s share of a new fire truck, leaving a balance of $60,000 for other purposes, such as the demolition.
