Hundreds of vacant houses will soon be demolished across Franklin County.  The County will receive more than eight-million-dollars from the Ohio Attorney General's office as early as next week to raze houses that are abandoned and tax delinquent.  The money is being passed out by the Franklin County treasurer's office, in an effort to improve property values.
