Reply to comment by ktxhopem3276 in URA's Avenues of Hope has $7 million to help undo a history of disinvestment in Black neighborhoods by RadioChris1
Terry has owned those lots since at least 2010 if not earlier, weird that the article says 2021. She's been shorting contractors on pay since as long as I've been in the neighborhood. I've talked to many over the years, I'll be surprised if she gets another team in there, she's notorious and nobody who's worked for her has had anything good to say.
I'll probably die of old age myself before she opens anything there.

Yeah that’s the issue with some of these grant programs - finding a good steward of the money. I hope they come with prevailing wage requirements like government contracts. Maybe a thing like an old American legion building should just be purchased outright by URA and used for the community benefit

They issue with the programs is that they're granting money on hopes, dreams and race.

Almost the same as when banks give out money except they give it to white people instead of black people…:
