City of Talladega Blight Removal Project (CDBG-funded demolitions)

How it works

The City of Talladega says eligible homes are inspected, then bid out for demolition. The city states the properties are demolished at no cost to the property owner, and the owner keeps ownership of the land.

What the money covers

The official city post describes demolition of abandoned or dilapidated homes. It does not describe repair or retrofit work, and it does not list covered line items beyond demolition-related work.

Amounts and matching

The city says the work is funded through a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The post does not state a dollar amount per home. It also says the properties are demolished at no cost to the property owner.

How to apply

The city directs interested owners to contact Building Inspector Jeanette Jueckstock at buildinginspector@talladega.com or 256-362-8186, extension 1027.

Timing and deadlines

The June 25, 2024 post says funds were available for approximately 60 more homes to be inspected and scheduled for demolition at that time. The page does not state a current closing date.
