That filing occurring in New Jersey led to the action, taken after a lengthy executive session with City Attorney Mike Neal.
Mayor David Courtney told GIANT fm WAKO News that they anticipated some additional legal hurdles in their effort to have the property remediated as a health and safety hazard to the community.
