(Aliquippa, Pa.) Last night’s Aliquippa Council  meeting using ZOOM   was supposed to have started at 7 p.m., but due to technical difficulties with ZOOM  it got a late start.

Council discussed the following subjects:

• Alvin B. Gipson purchased 4 properties out of the county repository  they are at 192, 190, 185, and 188 5th Avenue Taxes for 2016 and each year thereafter will be paid.
• Anthony Dorsett  purchased a property at 106 Ohio St. and  will demolish the structure, allowing to have tax forgiveness for  all years preceding 2016 and up to the current year.

Council approved both purchases

• Civil and Environmental Consultants, Inc. were approved  to provide professional services  as the city’s OPPORTUNITY ZONE  consultants.
