Inman Discusses Renewal Plan At Rotary Meeting Sikeston
At the Dunn Hotel Rotary Club heard Dick Inman executive secretary of the Public Housing Authority describe the Urban Renewal program for Sikeston. He said affected residents would have relocation housing before any purchase, with options to buy back or improve their homes, and that the plan aims to raise living standards without displacing people. The vote will decide if slum areas are cleared. Also Dr. Max Allen Heeb joined Ferguson McClure Clinic, and Sikeston will seek a $40,000 Community Chest quota to support agencies amid a restructured 1958 59 budget with several increases and unchanged allocations. The Red Feather drive dates were not set, but Earl Jarvis led the meeting with about 100 attendees.
