The residents of the 4th Ward
envision a clean and stable community without blight where
Delphi is utilized as an industrial park; the Flint River trail
is refurbished; and Kearsley, Whaley, and Rolllingwood Parks are
maintained. The 4th Ward is where
small businesses flourish; residents walk the streets safely;
and flowers abound. |
