The West Frankfort City Council Tuesday night approved two properties for demolition.

According to City Clerk Angie Baker Deaton, the properties are located at 308 N. Taft and 905 S. Monroe. The city will now advertise for bids to tear down these properties.

The council also approved advertising for bids to paint the outside of the West Frankfort Mall.

Regarding an ordinance leasing a specific area of the West Frankfort Downtown Business Incubator, Deaton says the lease was tabled, but the specifics of the agreement were reached.
