The city council officially approved the demolition ordinance this evening. Thank you to the 172 people who demanded protection for our historic architecture. Keep a close eye on future permit filings to ensure the new rules are strictly enforced.

Thomasville's charm is defined by the historic architecture of its downtown and neighborhoods.  Progress is important and so is heritage.  Thomasville needs a DEMOLITION ORDINANCE NOW for structures more than 45 years old to allow time to evaluate the significance of the structure to the community and options to demolition if warranted.

The city council continues to ignore our demands but they cannot ignore the growing list of names on this petition. Call your local representative today and tell them we expect an ordinance that protects our neighborhoods from reckless development.

About time. These eyesores are bringing down property values for the whole neighborhood and it needs to be dealt with already.

They are dangerous! Kids play around there all the time. Tear them down before something terrible happens.
