Homer officials working to take down Main Street building
HOMER – Community members, the mayor and the village board are all in agreement that a dilapidated, 19th-century building on Main Street will have to be demolished.
Mayor David Lucas said there have been many efforts to rescue the Homer Beach building at 127 S. Main St., but now the best option is for the village to get possession of the property, demolish the structure and sell the lot for redevelopment.
