Orange Beach targeting derelict properties - Breaking News from the Press-Register - al.com: "ORANGE BEACH, Ala. -- Having spent the last couple years working to wipe away lingering traces of storm damage along the beach, city officials said they are now focusing their attention on derelict properties in residential neighborhoods.
