| Quote from Former WVU President Mike Garrison |
"We are moving forward in large part because I am convinced that we now have a city council and a Sunnyside Up partnership that have the determination to eliminate unsafe and unsanitary student housing by decisive action,he said.Weve seen some real progress in this area. It is attracting private investment for the first time in three generations."

One of the most dramatic changes on Grant Avenue was the demolition and construction of 12 new units.
