Tornado-damaged structure demolition and raze orders
Menasha
Summary
132 red-tagged structures remain, but the city historically razes only one building a year. New funding covers about 18 demolitions plus a part-time inspector to process raze orders — which some owners actually want, since a raze order can help negotiate better insurance settlements.
