There is plenty of negative press about what would seem like an abundance of dilapidated properties in Venango County. That always leads into a question of money and how to demolish the properties.Now, all these run-down, tumbledown, ramshackle, and rickety houses should be seen as a great opportunity. Of course that sounds crazy.
First such properties obviously have a market value of as close to zero as you can get. That means they should also be paying close to nothing in property taxes. In fact they would appear to be a burden as public money will eventually be used to demolish them.
What better way to attract investors and their money to Venango County than by offering FREE Real Estate? Of course there might be a catch or two like no property taxes for 5 years and a requirement that they be brought up to a certain standard within a year.
