There are only 2 houses that could be considered in the 3500 block of Redden Road so that kind of narrows it down, doesn't it?

There are supposedly 36 bullet holes in it.

New Pocomoke Library?

Actual costs are over $8 million....$3.9 is the states portion. I am not saying Pocomoke doesn't deserve a new library but a lot of this money can be spent on other needs.
