CAIRO, IL (KFVS) -
Tearing down or cleaning
up burned out or abandoned buildings is just one of the things on a 'to do'
list for Cairo's mayor.
He's pushing a new plan to
clean up his town.
Mayor Tyrone Coleman says
his city needs a new look and he is taking steps to do just that.
He's made tearing down
abandoned homes one of the main goals for his second year in office.
The city received an
economic development grant to demolish more than 60 homes and commercial
buildings in Cairo to make way for progress.
"We'll be able to bring
those properties back on the tax roll," Coleman said. "It's another
means of revenue for the city. As well
as I said earlier, beautifying the city, uplifting the city to make it more
attractive for added residents, as well as businesses hopefully."
The mayor says once those
dilapidated, condemned or burned out buildings are torn down. All that'll be
left is an empty lot.
Coleman says they're not ready yet, but down
the road the city will sell those empty lots to people looking to rebuild
Cairo.
