LaSalle County Parks Director Ken Henze says the Catlin House will be knocked down, but not anytime soon. Henze says the County Board Property Committee will have to bid out the project.
The ground is also too soft for heavy equipment to be on which could cause ruts. Henze says the project could start by this winter when the ground is harder, but it could be earlier if the ground is dry. The committee did vote last week to move forward with demolishing the house.
