City answers on April 3 for South Green renewal disputes
City officials anticipate a formal response to claims by nine South Green Urban Renewal property owners at the April 3 city council meeting. The Urban Renewal committee, led by Richard Phillips, has discussed complaints with Athens Urban Renewal Director Richard Beagle, who says some issues cannot be resolved locally. The first demolition project near University Terrace may get bids after a Monday vote, with a condemnation resolution ready, and Ohio University plans four more science buildings in the area. The housing office has alerted students in South Green housing that their properties may be purchased, urging them to contact the office by March 24 for fall term housing arrangements.
