Stuart Main Street

Good points from Revitalize, or Die.regarding vacant properties.

Vacant property doesn’t just look bad.

It increases crime. Depresses property values. Diminishes the tax base. Repels investors, tenants, and tourists. Breeds apathy.

And here’s the part nobody wants to say out loud: there is absolutely no reason any community should ever suffer from it.

You have the legal authority to do something about it. Most towns just choose not to.

More to come this week.
