REED-HIBLER BUYS THIRD STREET BUILDINGS

CAMERON—Councilwoman Gina Reed-Hibler breathed life into the 200 block of 3rd Street by initiating a purchase of the 3rd Street Buildings from the Old School-Historical Preservation Society.

The CHPS’s ownership of the condemned structures has been the source of much local consternation at all levels, as the original intent of their purchase and contract with the city was to seek to obtain grants and funding from government and non-government sources to restore the structures.
