Shanie Shields Supports Study to Aid Gentrification of West Side
When large numbers of residents on Salisbury’s West Side are forced to leave their homes thanks to proposed “rehabilitation” of the area along the North Prong of the Wicomico River they should ask Councilwoman Shanie Shields if they can move in with her (in her non-city home on Jersey Road). Monday night the Salisbury City Council voted (with Shields in the majority) to fund a “strategic plan for the revitalization of the North Prong”
There is no secret that the Tilghman administration wants to turn the North Prong (and adjacent areas) into “condo city”. Personally, I don’t think it’s such a bad idea. Of course I don’t live there and I won’t be displaced. Who will benefit? The slumlords, who will see the values of their property rise ten fold (or more).
Where will these people go? I guess that’s not Shields’ problem. It appears that Mrs. Shields won’t be on council much longer anyway, due to her impending exodus from the city.
