The DeKalb County Commission recently accepted a federal grant to buy 10 flood-prone and flood damaged homes to be demolished.
The houses are on Bobbie Lane, Brookfield Lane, Creek Stone Court, Drew Valley Road, Grey Point Cove, Rowland Road and Scott Circle.
The grant will pay 75 percent of the cost, or $1.78 million. The county is using $594,000 from its stormwater fund to cover the remaining expense.
The county has no immediate plans for the properties once the homes are torn down.
