Cape Girardeau officials want to make the city a bit safer by demolishing unsafe and abandoned buildings.
According to Cape Girardeau’s city manager Kenny Haskin, residents in the city often report illegal activities occurring in abandoned, structurally unsafe buildings.
The proposal includes using $125,000 from American Rescue Plan funds and will provide enough money to triple the amount of funding for the removal of abandoned or unsafe buildings. The proposal is part of Cape Girardeau’s safety initiative and aims to decrease the crime rate in the area.
