Some History on North Avenue Extension

The Courier News reports today on a court decision regarding redevelopment in the so-called North Avenue Extension tract. This was a hot topic in 2007 and then went out of sight as challenges to a blight designation wended their way through the judicial system.

Several things have changed since the 2007 findings of blight. Some buildings have new ownership and at least two are slated for redevelopment. Plaintalker will be reporting later on the differences and the ramifications of the court decision. Meanwhile, the links below give some context to the Courier News report.
