Thanks to a $481,000. grant through the Dilapidated Properties Program (DLAP) of the WV Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), the City of Hinton is cleaning up the community and addressing health and safety issues presented by abandoned, dilapidated, and uninhabitable properties. "It is tough to lose some of these old structures in Hinton", says Council President Jim Leslie, "but sadly, they have been so long abandoned and neglected that they now have severe structural damage posing a health and safety risk to our citizens".
Later this Fall 2024 the City of Hinton will be returning properties to the public tax rolls via the Hinton Land Reuse Agency. Public Announcements will be provided at that time as to the process for citizens to obtain these vacant lots.
If you know of, or own personal property, that you would like to work with the City to have removed, please email your request to: buildinginspector.cityofhinton@gmail.com
The City of Hinton appreciates all efforts by our property owners and citizens to clean up and rebuild our community for the future. #Hintoncleanup #HintonWV #CityofHintonWV #WVDLAP
