  • Description is exactly "A series of Florence Herald and Florence Times articles on the Handy Heights Urban Renewal/Redevelopment Project of the Florence City Housing Authority of the late 1950s.

    This urban renewal project, one of the first in the nation, initiated by the City of Florence Housing Authority in the fall of 1957, called for the purchase of 78 residential lots in Handy Heights in West Florence which would house 80 families in a subdivision known as "Carver Homes." A similar project for white residents resulted in the construction of Cherry Hill Homes in East Florence. The project also resulted in the construction, in 1958, of the Handy Heights Recreation Center, near the Handy Heights Pool, which had been constructed in 1955."
