Magic City Blight Busters looks to beautify Birmingham neighborhoods

Oct 5, 2020 | News

Magic City Blight Busters (MCBB), a program developed by Birmingham United Neighborhoods (BUN), hosted a community cleanup July 11 in the Fountain Heights neighborhood.

Established in 2018 by representatives from eight Birmingham neighborhoods – Belview Heights, Druid Hills, Fountain Heights, North Titusville, Riley, Rising-West Princeton, South Titusville and West Goldwire – BUN seeks to improve neighborhood health through partnerships and collaborative projects.

Last year, BUN identified environmental blight as its top priority. To further its initiative, BUN partners with the UAB Center for the Study of Community Health by supplying input to the center’s core research project, Community Health through Engagement and Environmental Renewal (CHEER).
