About
Efforts to fight blight in the 7th Ward are gaining momentum! Recently, the city agency responsible for addressing blight announced that they have received $30 million to clean up blighted lots and properties. The city also released a new list of structures that have been labeled a ‘public nuisance’ and will be demolished. This list include many structures in the 7th Ward. Finally, the city has promised to re-start code enforcement hearings that were stopped because of budget cuts.
