Hemming Plaza

[Wacca Pilatka]

A while back (including in the Downtown Frankenstein series), a couple of posters noted that extensive road work in the Hemming Plaza area in the mid-80s accelerated the death of the retail district.

My understanding was that Hemming was converted to a plaza in 1978, in accordance with the '71 plan.  What further work was being undertaken in 1984-86?

Thanks in advance for the insight!
