Philadelphia City Council to Consider Uses for Blight-Plan Funds.
Byline: Cynthia Burton
Dec. 11--The smell of new money is wafting through City Hall corridors as the Street administration gets a chance today to defend the mayor's $250 million blight plan and City Council starts carving it up.
Councilman Jannie Blackwell wants $26 million to go to her district for a project to be named the Lucien E. Blackwell Mantua Revitalization Project, after her husband, the former congressman, councilman, and mentor to the mayor.
Councilwoman Joan Krajewski seeks what she calls "a pittance" -- $2 million -- for code enforcement in her district.
Councilman Darrell Clarke has not put a dollar figure on his wish list. Rather, he wants the blight program's demolition to start in Strawberry Mansion, which holds 1,846 abandoned buildings and lots -- more than any other census tract in the city.
