This is a project led by Travis Hope of South-side Organizing Center. He has identified this lot as a particular problem area that often has tires and other debris dumped on it. He applied for LYB to turn it into  a mini park/ community space. The space will be a point of interest for those in the area and those just passing through.

Project Location: 1227 S. 12th Street
