Outside Factors Critical to the Continued Success
of Kettering University |
| Dilapidated housing stock north and south of
Third Avenue from Chevrolet Street to Carriage Town is in need of
repair. Kettering and Flint
West Village C.D.C., along with General Motors and several neighboring institutions,
have cleared more than 80 housing structures in this area. Still,
there is a dramatic need
to demolish scores of abandoned houses that serve as havens for drug
dealers and other illegal activity. Mott Park Community is still a gem in Flint but its survival is
seriously threatened by the encroachment of blight from the east. |
