Monroe County Demolishes Vacant Homes Near Rochester Airport Following Investigation
Monroe County has begun demolishing vacant homes located near the Rochester airport, specifically on Beahan Road in Chili. This action follows a News10NBC investigation that brought attention to the rundown properties in June. The county had previously purchased these homes for approximately $335,000, acting on a security recommendation from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). A vote to proceed with the demolitions took place in September. County leaders have assured the public that these demolition activities do not pose any environmental threats. The process involves crews actively working on the site, addressing the properties that had become an issue in the area adjacent to the airport runway.
