Findings reveal that about one-half of the surveyed industrial building vacancies were reclaimed for some specific use, and the balance remained vacant or were demolished. The majority of all reclamations were reclaimed by non-industrial uses. Less intensive use of building space was common in both industrial and non-industrial reclamations. Churches, eating and drinking establishments, auto parts, furniture, and upholstery stores dominated non-industrial reclamations (service establishments presumably oriented to the local black population); industrial reclamations were primarily fabricated metals, construction, printing and publishing, and miscellaneous repair services. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 1977 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
