Rossville residents debate future of ailing buildings

ROSSVILLE – Residents' opinions were in abundance when the Rossville Village Board held a public meeting to discuss the fate of six aging downtown buildings Thursday night.

Nearly 100 people turned out to listen to how the board acquired the buildings and what its plans were. The meeting was to give residents the opportunity to speak out on whether to stabilize or demolish the buildings, which face each other from across Attica Street.
