Oak Hill Blight Prompts Call for Rapid Redevelopment
A city committee urges immediate comprehensive rehabilitation of Oak Hill to curb blight, relocate families from the Cedar Lake renewal area, and halt the sale of ramshackle rental units. The Beehive among rentals exemplifies squalor, with three to five families housed in single dwellings at high rents. Local residents and new Jane Boyd Community House push for action though enforcement lags and landlords resist.
