Mayors from around the county met in Marked Tree last week for the quarterly intergovernmental cooperative council meeting to update each other on local projects and discuss issues facing their cities. Part of the discussion centered around dealing with dilapidated houses. The group invited Wynne Mayor Bob Stacy to talk about his city's success in dealing with the issue. Stacy said Wynne is fortunate to have a high garbage rate of $18, which has helped generate money for tearing down dilapidated houses. Additionally, he said that when they have a property that is run down or partially burnt, they have the owner sign a waiver in which they understand the city will raze the building while the owner will keep the lot. "We've torn down 73 to date," Stacy said. "The whole town loves it."
