Title
Resolution removing a deed restriction from a former tax-deed, vacant lot formerly known as 2824 North Palmer Street, in the 6th Aldermanic District.
Analysis
This resolution removes a deed restriction imposed by the City of Milwaukee that prohibits division of land and construction of a principal building.
