LEDA approves commercial demolition grant for Viessman project on Edgehill

Members of the Luverne Economic Development Authority approved a commercial demolition request at their Aug. 12 meeting for Scott and Tricia Viessman to improve the property at 401 W. Edgehill Street.
The Viessmans, who own Momadic Properties LLC, acquired the property for commercial business development and applied for funds to offset demolition costs associated with redeveloping the property.
The scope of work includes tearing down a partially demolished structure and removing the dilapidated foundation and associated concrete remnants located on the west side of the property.
The LEDA noted Viessman’s project meets the goals of removing blight and preparing the area for construction and new tax base.
Momadic Properties, a holding company, was approved for a commercial demolition grant for up to $3,700, based on estimates.
