Its going to happen! Millville Gardens is to be emptied and demolished by THIS Spring!! All the work the residents of the 3rd Ward and community activists from across the city have paid off. The city rebounded after the developer Steve Durst of the new mall in Millville promised in May 2007 to buy and build and then bailed out.
After the city filed its claim under the 2004 state Abandoned Property Rehabilitation Act. which allows municipalities to deem a property a "nuisance" if it's dilapidated; plays a role in crime, drug or gang activity; and negatively impacts neighboring property values. There was a City Commission meeting on April 7 2008 to press this issue. Soon after, the owners sold it to the city and the city is doing a nice job of following though with their plan to demolish this eyesore. Congratulations Millville your hard work and persistence has paid off!!
Now lets open the Levoy!!
