Abandoned Buildings a Growing Problem in Spencer County

By: Michael C. Fehn
Updated: January 10, 2013
Officials in Spencer County say abandoned buildings are causing trouble, and they want something done about them.   

Most recently, the former Love Boutique caught fire on Sunday.  It's been empty for quite some time, but fire officials say that hasn't stopped thieves from stealing scrap and other metal.

The Carter Fire District says this whole complex of abandoned buildings on old highway 231 is unsafe and dangerous for emergency personnel and the public.

We're told a formal unsafe building complaint will be filed Monday.
