Terre haute is also working to improve its look.

The city has started more work to get rid of blighted homes.

Crews are knocking down three houses on 4th street between 4th and 6th avenues.

Two are already down.

The goal is to bring down the third one soon.

Mayor duke bennett hopes to improve neighborhoods, increase property values, and lower crime.

He says they will probably knock down about 75 houses this year....which is more than usual.
