Kansas City surpasses goal in 2-year dangerous buildings initiative

A $10 million, 2-year initiative to address 800 dangerous buildings in the city actually ended up taking care of 895 on the list. City leaders announced the success at a news conference Thursday in front of one of the homes involved in the initiative. Lee’s Summit resident Laurie Schwab bought the property on 29th Terrace for $1 from the Land Bank. Twenty-one-thousand dollars later the property is unrecognizable.
