Council Urged To Note Plight Of Chandler Dr
Charleston city council heard an urgent plea from a Parent Teacher Association representing about 1,000 residents for sewage, street, and lighting in the Chandler Drive area. Described as an eye sore with unsanitary privies and hazardous mud streets, officials consider extending facilities a priority, while health officials note slow growth due to lack of sewage. The item seeks a formal application for 465,000 in federal housing funds as part of slum clearance and low rent housing goals, alongside a proposed World War II memorial statue in the Lee Street triangle.
