Kenton Street plan a boon for entire community

The area around Kenton Street and Greenwood Alley in Bowling Green was once a thriving area inhabited primarily by African Americans. Some of the homes in the area have been demolished in recent years, and many of the remaining ones have fallen into disrepair. Nevertheless, area residents take pride in the area’s history as an especially close-knit, peaceful place that was the home of many notable African Americans, including doctors, lawyers, teachers and pioneering business owners. That’s why a plan presented in 2019 to tear down the remaining houses and build contractor garages drew the ire of many area residents. Some said they were misled into believing the project slated for the area was new residential development and were surprised and upset to learn of the intended use for the area.
