Vet, I would hope that the money would go first toward the blighted buildings that are all over Middletown. If they do that I don't think they will have any money to rehab homes.
Maybe Ginger Smith will provide a list of properties that will receive money from this grant.

The article in today's Journal stated that some of the money could be used to acquire and rehab blighted homes for the purpose of providing low income people opportunities to purchase these houses, once rehabbed. I thought that the city was trying to get out of the real estate business. Didn't they say, years ago, that they wanted to unload all of the properties that the city owned? What happens if the city uses this money, purchases blighted properties, rehabs the properties, and can't sell them? The city ends up having many " Swallens building" properties that they can't unload. Isn't this a crap shoot from the start? If the houses remain empty, does the city own them, or does the government own them since they provided the money in the first place? Finally. doesn't this whole situation only encourage and aggravate the low income problem we have here in this town? Aren't we growing more Section 8 possibilities here?]]> Wed, 14 Jan 2009 07:09:53 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=3753&title=middletown-receives-21mil-for-housing-renovation#3753 Middletown receives $2.1mil for housing renovation : If it wasn't approved when... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=3747&title=middletown-receives-21mil-for-housing-renovation#3747 Author: Bwood

If it wasn't approved when I posted, it is now.

Maybe this will get some contracts for Middletown construction companies that are probably taking a hit from the recession like As-Built Construction, or Martin Construction.

All the city needs to do is video tape the city. Downtown and around.

My understanding of this grant is that Middletown has applied along with 14 other cities in the state and hasn't been approved as of today for such grant unless they can show true cause for it.]]> Tue, 30 Dec 2008 22:11:35 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=3518&title=middletown-receives-21mil-for-housing-renovation#3518 Middletown receives $2.1mil for housing renovation : The grants can be used to: •... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=820&PID=3510&title=middletown-receives-21mil-for-housing-renovation#3510 Author: Bwood

The grants can be used to:

• Establish temporary land banks of abandoned or foreclosed properties to facilitate redevelopment.

• Demolish blighted structures.

• Purchase foreclosed or abandoned parcels.

• Redevelop vacant, abandoned or foreclosed properties; and

• Offer purchase and redevelopment assistance to income-eligible buyers of foreclosed or abandoned properties.
