Physical Rehabilitation

Hollis & Gardner Street Project 

Three-Deckers within GKH project area were relocated and renovated.  In the winter of 2004 these 4 houses were sold to low-moderate income first-time homebuyers. For pictures of the completed project go to Hollis Gardner Street Project above. 

 

One of the Main South CDC’s goal is to revitalize its community through physical rehabilitation of distressed or blighted properties. By reclaiming and restoring these properties, the CDC is able to create affordable home ownership and rental opportunities.

Specific areas addressed under the University Park Partnership include:

  • The rehabilitation of distressed commercial and residential properties.
  • The creation of affordable and safe apartment rentals in newly renovated buildings.
  • A Clark Faculty/ Staff Home Ownership Incentive Program.
  • Improvement of public lights, re-direction of traffic and creation of more recreational space for residents.
Green-Tech Housing employees work on assembling a modular house. Stephen Teasdale, Director of Main South CDC, and the planners are modifying the site plans. Stephen Teasdale and Brian McGrail, Construction Supervisor, review the modular home plans at the site.
