South-end demolition and flood recovery
The first round of demolitions will take down seven apartment quadplexes near Consumer Lumber, three properties south of Lincoln School, and two near Hardee's — all former FEMA 403 properties. A state forgivable loan covers the cost, so no property tax dollars are spent, with more buyout demolitions coming in November.
