HENDERSON — City leaders figure on taking a couple steps by the end of the month that could bring them closer to setting up an “urban redevelopment area” in the Elmwood section of Henderson to give them more tools to promote investment there. Henderson’s Planning Board is scheduled on Monday to consider whether the officials have pegged the right set of boundaries for the district, which so far take in an area northwest of South Chestnut Street, southwest of West Andrews Avenue and northeast of Burwell Avenue, stretching to and including the Elmwood Cemetery. State law says the determination turns on whether members think there’s a sufficient number of buildings in the area suffering “dilapidation, deterioration, age or obsolescence” to make it blighted and a drag on “the sound growth of the community.”
