(WEVV) — The City of Henderson has initiated its fifth mass foreclosure action in nearly a decade to recover delinquent property taxes and code enforcement liens.The action involves 20 properties encumbered by more than $306,000 in liens and taxes. The properties include 16 vacant lots and four parcels with houses."We are allowed by statute to pursue a mass foreclosure, which allows multiple properties to be included in a single lawsuit," City Attorney Dawn Kelsey said. "This process saves the City both time and money, expedites the foreclosure timeline, and creates opportunities for blighted properties to be transferred to responsible owners who can rehabilitate or redevelop them."The foreclosure aims to recoup public costs from maintaining unsafe or abandoned properties and to promote redevelopment. Properties are sold with clear title through a Master Commissioner's public sale, facilitating redevelopment.Mayor Brad Staton highlighted the success of previous mass foreclosures. "From the City’s previous four mass foreclosures, Habitat for Humanity has been able to purchase lots for new homes," Staton said. "This process has proven to be an effective tool not only for recovering public costs, but for revitalizing neighborhoods and expanding safe, quality housing options throughout our community."The properties are located throughout Henderson at the following addresses: 113 Thompson Street, 124 Letcher Street, 828 Powell Street, 1418 Helm Street, 1214 Helm Street, 727 Sixth Street, 1601 Washington Street, 115 Letcher Street, 327 South Alvasia Street, 329 North Adams Street, 918 Center Street, 452 South Adams Street, 1705 Washington Street, 916 Pond Street, 906 Harts Alley, 1406 Wilson Drive, 1205 Loeb Street, 1431 Helm Street, 3086 Mimosa Drive, and 512 Letcher Street.These efforts aim to eliminate blight, improve safety, and create opportunities for affordable housing.Anyone interested in sales related to the mass foreclosure can email massforeclosure@hendersonky.gov to join the notification list.</div></body>
