The struggle continues. Eight months after City Manager Grant Goings announced at a council meeting that he would soon introduce his recommendations for Vick Cemetery, and five months after our meeting with the Mayor and Councilmember Gillettia Morgan to discuss Lane Street Project’s vision for next steps, the City has not made one move toward redemption.
ABC-11’s report on Vick aired today and reminds us all of the stakes here. Can’t stop, won’t stop.
