1. The redevelopment of the Homeward Bound location. There's some interesting talk about this site being a "green" development with affordable housing. It could be another environmentally solid idea from the mayor.
2. The potential to convert Marquette Street and MLK Drive into 2 way traffic. This idea looks all but dead after city committees sat on the proposal for months. It may also be too expensive.
3. The construction of a new COP house on Hamilton Street. Neighborhoods like COP houses. This could be interesting improvement to the area.
Here's the official description of the meeting:
Neighborhood Meeting at the MLK Center with the Mayor
The Mayor will conduct a neighborhood meeting for those residential areas near the MLK Community Center (in the areas of State Street to High Street and various side streets off of Marquette, MLK, and Douglas). The meeting will be on Wednesday, July 30 at 6:00 p.m. at the Martin Luther King Community Center. The discussion will provide updates for the following topics amongst others:
Please, please, please - no more affordable housing. The city has more than enough already.

ReplyDeletei meant to say bring snow with him AGAIN, like the last time.
ReplyDeleteIgnoring? Please. Do you know how much money the Federal, State, County, and City governments spend in the african american community in Racine? A boatload.
ReplyDelete3 out of five community centers are in african american neighborhoods. Housing subsidies galore. Housing programs, GED programs, school programs, welfare, day care, food stamps, etc.
The last time Becker went to a community center, it was to explain how he wanted to expand programming for the community.
Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, gimmme - how about a "thank you" once and a while?
Your right we do owe Mayor Becker a thank you.
ReplyDeleteThank you Mayor Becker for:
Gutting the Police Force
