The work was done to
eliminate the progress of black mold in the houses and to allow the
homeowners to start the rebuilding process. Every day that a house
sits without reconstructive effort is a day that the black mold
advances through the house. There comes a point, which cannot be
defined at the moment, when the mold will so overtake the structure
that total demolition becomes the only alternative. Currently the work
order requests exceed 700 and are continually growing. Copyright, The Commercial Appeal,
