Queen City Replaced by Lubbock Urban Renewal Project
The Queen City slum in Lubbock was cleared after two years of buying properties, relocating residents, and razing structures. Forty years after annexations of nearby areas, redevelopment promises modern duplexes, apartments, and improved streets. Residents were paid, some relocated to East Texas, and bids will include building new homes for rent or sale. The project, begun in 1958 with court battles and a Texas Supreme Court ruling, aims to relaunch a new Queen City.
