NORWICH – A special meeting of the city Common Council held Thursday afternoon found city officials unanimously authorizing the sale of the final two Restore NY II properties.

Funded in part through a grant from the Empire State Development Corporation, the two new homes, located at 52 Fair St. and 7 Waite St. will be sold for $100,000 and $94,000 respectively.

A third Restore NY II property at 23 Grove Ave. was authorized for sale in October of last year.

The three properties cost approximately $613,000 to construct, according to Mayor Joe Maiurano, $300,000 of which was funded through the Restore NY program.

“This has been a great program for the city and they’re absolutely beautiful houses,” said Maiurano. “We were very fortunate to receive this grant and it went a long way toward cleaning up these properties so we could get them back on the tax rolls. Otherwise, they’d be sitting there for who knows how long.”
