Redeveloping Martin Luther King Blvd.
Many Years ago, the Black Business District of Martin Luther King Blvd (formerly known as Campbell Street) was a thriving district of Black entrepreneurs and professional who worked, served and lived in our community.

A rebuilding that will create jobs, family programs, cultural arts venues and tourist attractions. |
