The Rainsville City Council is tackling beautification with plans to demolish unsafe buildings.
Councilman Rickey Byrum said there are 40-50 such structures throughout the town and it will take some time to clear them. He said it is important to prevent rodents that spread disease from inhabiting old structures belonging to absentee owners and areas overgrown with tress and tall grass. Following the passage of Resolution 02-18-2021(D), certified inspectors will test the unsafe buildings for asbestos and other banned materials so they can be safely burned.
âWeâve got to start somewhere,â Byrum said, proposing the resolution that passed unanimously.

A Bloomington pharmacy has stepped in to help the McLean County Health Department get COVID-19 vaccines into teachers arms.
Genoa Healthcare, which is located at Chestnut Family Health Center, has been scheduling vaccination clinics throughout the month of February.

Pharmacist Sam Wilkes runs the clinics. She said Genoa wanted to take the vaccines to schools that are outside Bloomington-Normal because the health department wasn t able to do that.
“They didn’t have the staff to go to the rural schools and they would have to schedule each district individually and assign it out on their own as opposed to us doing it,” Wilkes said.
