On Thursday, August 27, YNDC presented the McGuffey Road Corridor Action Plan at a special meeting of the Northeast Homeowners and Concerned Citizens Association at the Price Memorial AME Zion Church.
More than 100 were in attendance to the review the Action Plan and provide feedback. The Action Plan, developed with resident input, detailed property surveys, and data analysis, seeks to improve housing and property conditions, improve infrastructure, reduce crime, and encourage economic development. The plan focuses on McGuffey Road itself, as well as neighborhoods around MLK Elementary School, John White Park, and East High School. A site plan for the future re-use of the former McGuffey Plaza was also discussed. Residents expressed concern about the appearance of the site, quality of life issues, and specific properties needing demolition. A copy the Action Plan can be found here.
