Hancock County is advertising for bids to demolish two properties on North Main Street. The buildings in question are at the site of the former Karl Kuhlman body shop and B & T’s Asian Market. The county estimates it will cost around $150,000 to tear down the buildings.

The commissioners will open the bids on May 23rd. The project is part of the effort to reduce damage from future flooding.
