DAN CAPPELLAZZO/STAFF PHOTOGRAPHERQ: Do you think it’s a good idea to mothball abandoned structures in the Falls rather than tear them down?A: Diane Lauzon, Town of Niagara - I don’t think the city exercises the proper discretion. I think in many ways it would be better to rehab and old house than tear it down and built a new one. Like the construction at Center Court. There are alot on empty homes and apartments already there. There are a lot of old homes that have so much character.
