At a Paducah City meeting, a resident urged officials to prioritize housing on the South Side, saying the neighborhood has "over 400 vacant lots" that could be used to attract developers.
The resident said housing is a central concern for them and argued the lots could support homes "that I think people want," serving both young people starting out and older residents who want to downsize into more sustainable dwellings. "We can create a community there," the speaker added.
