"In 1980, the UT Administration began its sixth annexation that was intended to take all land to Chicon Street — half of the Blackland Neighborhood. The Blackland Neighborhood Association formed and struggled with the university for 12 years before agreeing to a compromise whereby UT would cease all purchases east of Leona Street and divest its properties in that area to the neighborhood. During that battle, one of the strategies that the neighborhood conceived and executed was to become an active developer to end blighted conditions and annexations. In 1983, the Blackland CDC was created to do this and has since built, purchased and maintained housing for low-income families and special populations."
