Second Ward Office Activity, official ward duties, not a campaign event
Last verified:
Community Need
Vacant, unsecured and deteriorating properties can create safety hazards, illegal activity, wildlife problems and diminished neighborhood conditions.
Colby's Role
Second Ward Alderwoman and resident advocate.
Action Taken
Reported and escalated vacant-property concerns, requested inspections and board-ups, communicated with City departments and public-safety personnel, and raised abandoned-property conditions through municipal discussions.
Result / Current Status
Property-specific cases have been escalated for municipal response, while vacant and abandoned properties remain an ongoing Second Ward priority. Escalation is not the same as a completed board-up or demolition.
