Resident urges protections against displacement in Historic Colored Addition beautification plan
Summary
At the Equity Advisory Board meeting a resident and church supporter urged that beautification not displace legacy residents and requested protections be made "non negotiable" while supporting the bond package and beautification work.
During public comment, Lily Milliner addressed the Equity Advisory Board on behalf of supporters of the Historic Colored Addition project and the Saint Mary's Missionary Baptist Church. Milliner relayed a message from Toni Caldwell Hinton and said protecting current residents from displacement "must be [a] non negotiable requirement." She said about 40 people from her church are willing to support engagement and outreach work.
Board members thanked Milliner and continued into a detailed review of the staff's engagement plan. The board and staff later discussed how listening sessions, an oral-history framework, and a Community Advisory Board could surface concerns about displacement and help recommend actions that the Equity Advisory Board or city council might take.
