Shawnee will launch "an aggressive plan" to improve neighborhoods and raze dilapidated buildings, Community Development Director Justin Erickson told the City Commission Tuesday night.
Erickson said the efforts would include increased staffing levels, more money to remove dilapidated structures, grant assistance, increased effort, new approaches, new goals and keeping it going.
Erickson said the effort is part of a continuing campaign being waged in conjunction with the Greater Shawnee Area Chamber of Commerce. That effort began about two years ago, he noted. Countywide & Sun
