address auto block building buy calls city community enemy found grant illegal money needles police property public repair road section source storage tunnel
We found out that one address was the source of 200 police calls in one year. That property was public enemy No. 1. When the city went inside, they found an illegal auto repair shop, mattresses in a storage section of the building that had condoms and needles all over them. We got the building emptied out, the city used Community Development Block Grant money to buy it and now it's on the road to demolition. The end of the tunnel is near.
absolutely coming efforts support warm
We absolutely support all these efforts (by the police), especially when we're coming into warm weather.
additional block building buildings convert create districts dollars entertainment generate help inside intend league major outdated physical plans price projects purchased queens start store tower triggers work
We see the TIF districts as one of the triggers to get the physical change. What we intend to do is start to work on some projects that will help generate these TIF dollars inside these districts that will help spawn additional construction and physical improvements. For example, the Queens Tower has a new owner. They are going to convert this all-apartment building to all condos and they have plans for some restaurants to create a new entertainment complex. And Kroger has an existing, outdated store in Price Hill. They have purchased all of the buildings that block their way to a major league expansion.
