WELLSTON — A St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë County agency says it plans to spend three days next month cleaning up real estate it owns next to Normandy High School that has become a notorious dumping ground.Ìý
The St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë County Land Clearance for Redevelopment Authority says it is working on a plan to remove the debris from Wellston’s Lulu Heights neighborhood, where it owns over 30 residential lots. The county LCRA, administered by the St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë Economic Development Partnership, said Tuesday it has tentatively scheduled cleanups for May 26 through May 28.
For 20 years, the county's LCRA has collected land throughout the inner-ring suburb of Wellston. The mayor is fed up.Ìý
The Partnership’s move to clean up the area follows the county’s renewed interest in affordable housing and other development in Wellston. In January, St. ÑÇÖÞÎÞÂë County Executive Sam Page replaced the LCRA board with new members, and the agency said in March it hoped to schedule a cleanup by the end of April.Ìý
