NewVue Communities.

What is happening?  NewVue Liabilities to Assets pilot program will support “the purchase and rehabilitation of primarily one- and two-family properties that have been vacant for at least three years at the time of development and have a negative impact on the surrounding neighborhood.”

Why is this important? Blighted properties are turned into fully rehabilitated, energy-efficient single-family home while preserving the character of the neighborhood. Purchasers will have to live in the home for 7 years.

How will this be important? Retaining character of the community, without gentrification could be fascinating.
