During their action session today, Lyon County commissioners discussed Reading with Rick Frevert, Lyon County Emergency Management director.
Frevert said there are 102 homes in Reading and around 49 properties have been demolished and hauled away following the May 21 tornado that devestated that town — that’s nearly half of Reading’s homes.
“It’s starting to take on a different look,” Frevert said. “This is not a pretty one.”
Frevert said the water tower in Reading was checked Monday but the engineer couldn’t make a call on it. X-ray equipment will now be brought in to check the tower.
Frevert said it is still unknown if Reading’s post office will return.
“We haven’t heard from the post office,” he said.
Commissioners also discussed possible grant applications to help with Reading.
