The City Council has approved the sale of the city-owned property at 5222 S Indiana Ave to Mildred Flynn and Deborah D. Hayes under the Adjacent Neighbors Land Acquisition Program (ANLAP). This program allows the city to sell vacant land to neighboring property owners, encouraging community-driven development and local ownership.
This sale is important as it promotes local ownership and community development by transferring vacant city-owned land to adjacent property owners. It helps prevent blight and allows for better land use in the neighborhood.
