Southwest of Manchester and Tower Grove
Similar to the area north of Manchester, the area around Adams School is also littered with dilapidated buildings owned by absentee landlords. Here, too, residents expressed optimism that buying out these problem property owners would solve both the drug and real-estate problems. To support the reopening of Adams School, efforts should first focus on properties that face the school site. Year two programs should be concentrated along Swan Avenue, reinforcing ongoing infill efforts along this street.
