The overall goals of the Plymouth Valiant! Block Reclamation Project are: Identification of the KCA target area of Plymouth Ave. between Hudson and Penn. Sts. Increasing safety and security for residents of the street. Increasing beautification initiatives including gardening efforts and litter clean-up. Improving public infrastructure such as sidewalks and trees. Supporting and encouraging property owners to maintain, restore and improve their properties. Transforming vacant and non-owner occupied structures into owner-occupied homes. Chris Brown, President of KCA Kleinhans Community Association c/o 34 Orton Place Buffalo, NY 14201 (716) 884-1914
