JAMES MADISON QUOTE - 1822

"A popular government without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power knowledge gives."

Urban Blight in Scottsboro





Wiki lists the following definitions of urban blight and decay. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urban_decay Scottsboro seems to be suffering from outward expansion. Development is great, city planners can not overlook our downtown area. Blight is evident in our historical district. Vacant business and dilapidated structures are present in the historical district of Scottsboro. That district extends further than College Street and the Court House Square area. The true historical district includes the north side of our town, the other side of the tracks.
Vacant buildings around our square and dilapidated structures are evidence of blight.
