The Rock County planning department Thursday learned it will get $786,934 to buy and tear down five houses substantially damaged by 2008 flooding.

It’s good news for a few homeowners.

But based on the length of time it took to get the news, one county official doesn’t anticipate the next steps will happen quickly.

The houses are in Rock, Janesville and Fulton townships, said Dave Somppi, community development manager for the county.
