The Dadeville City Council held a public hearing on Tuesday, July 26, regarding the fate of several dilapidated buildings around the city’s business district.
Peter Golden, the city’s building inspector, called for a hearing earlier this month after extensively surveying two buildings along West Cusseta Street and finding that the structures have degraded to the point of near collapse.
