Dothan Eyes Columbus Program's Solution for Substandard Housing
Thursday, March 26th, 2015
The affordable housing presentation held Wednesday at Dothan’s Opera House began with a 5-minute slide show featuring about 100 of the city’s most run-down houses.
The caved-in roofs, broken windows and leaning frames were embarrassing to many of the residents and elected officials present at the forum Wednesday afternoon.
However, it wasn’t as embarrassing as what happened to the city of Columbus, Georgia, to make the city and county begin to embark on a project to resurrect its most blighted neighborhood.
