OWEGO, N.Y. — The Tioga County Property Development Corporation (Tioga County Land Bank) is demolishing four residential structures it owns in Owego to eliminate blight.
Gorick Construction Co., Inc., in coordination with Keystone Environmental Services environmental-testing firm, is handling the demolition of the structures, located at 94 and 98 Spencer Ave., 98 Fox St., and 54 Temple St.
