The county redevelopment authority was appointed conservator of an abandoned, dilapidated house in Cranberry Township at a hearing Thursday in Butler County Common Pleas Court.

The house at 407 Mary St. has been abandoned for an unknown number of years and the owner, Richard Panizza, is believed to be deceased, county officials said.

Authority solicitor Andrew Menchyk said the authority’s next steps are to advertise for demolition bids, request court approval to demolish the house and then demolish it.

The authority will explore options for disposition of the property after the demolition, he said. Possibilities include acquisition by the county land bank, redevelopment and/or selling it, he said.
