Residents who struggle to keep up their properties for whatever reason, a new program the City of Clinton is looking to implement might be just what they need.

Mayor Helen Michelassi reminds the 'Block by Block' program is something she saw work in Decatur and is hoping to bring a similarly structured program to Clinton.

City Administrator Tony Harris indicates with the City's budget process beginning, they are starting to take a look at what it would take to make this program happen from a funding perspective.

Mayor Michelassi indicates they found that residents they helped in Decatur continued to maintain their properties well after they received assistance.

The Mayor and Harris believe this program would continue to build on the many positive things happening for the City of Clinton in 2026.
