Members of the Board of Public Works & Safety accepted a bid Wednesday from W Enterprises for the demolition of 512 and 700 Wayne Avenue.
The combined cost for both demolitions is approximately $32,000.
The two properities along Sugar Creek are among five recently purchased by the city due to the threat of high-bank erosion.
The city received a state grant to purchase the properities and remove the structures. Purchase and demolition costs are largely being covered by state funds.
Participation in the program has been voluntary.
