The intent of this petition is to push the city/county to enforce building codes and fine for violations of such codes. There are currently at least a dozen empty buildings that, if properly maintained, could draw in businesses in our community. My main objective is to have one of these buildings turned into a fun center, skating rink, arcade, etc for the kids, teens and families in Tipton and neighboring towns to enjoy.

The increase in support has prompted a formal meeting request with the local zoning board. I am currently drafting a letter to the city planning department to outline our specific requirements for these vacant properties.

This would totally benefit this community. For all ages. At least the teens wouldn't be destroying the town, and little children would have a different place to hang out and not just the boys n girls club. It would get the kids out in the community and off their cell phones, lap tops, that's what's wrong with he works today electronics and internet have taken over. They need to be out hanging with friends, enjoying more recreational use of their time and not be on video games and phones.
It is a wonderful ideal. Our youth in this community are heading to drugs and alcohol because there is nothing to do here in Tipton. Tipton is a wonderful place. Just needs to expand a little.
The enforcement of building codes prevents residential and commercial spaces from becoming the run down shells we see right now. The same codes are meant for all properties in our city and we pay tax dollars to see that our community is being looked after, not just taken for its $.
I fully support your goals. Many of our cities and towns are blighted by empty stores and factories. What was once a thriving business and social district has been reduced to ghost towns. Our children and teenagers need wholesome, supervised, activities to vent off their natural restlessness. This is a great start to a wonderful gesture.
Let's do this I counted fifteen empty businesses including the Carter's Mall and the whole block from napa east to Compton's hardware store pitiful
These eyesores need brought to code to help bring business opportunity to our town!
There are definitely some buildings that could use some upkeep in our town!
