The Columbia (MO) Missourian (6/19) reports, "As the costs of maintaining its aging public housing increases, the [Columbia] Housing Authority has embarked on a master plan that could involve renovating or replacing public housing downtown and buying additional property for housing that could be mixed with various income houses or businesses. Residents will be briefed on work by consulting firms helping with the planning effort during a public hearing at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Housing Authority office, 201 Switzler St." One official with the Columbia Housing Authority Board of Commissioners said that tackling the renovations was very challenging.
