Chestnut Avenue TAP

Zusammenfassung des Berichts: The Chestnut Avenue corridor is a historically vibrant, once thriving corridor of commerce and residence, but has experienced significant disinvestment over the last 20 to 30 years resulting in a lack of quality housing, services, and neighborhood commercial options. There is a need for injection of capital for infrastructure improvements and new development projects to create more quality housing, services, and commercial options for those living and working in the community. The Pearl Bailey homeplace project at 2814 Chestnut Avenue represents a potentially important investment into the community. There is a need to develop a vision for the corridor, including the Pearl Bailey project, as a potential catalyst for new development. The TAP sponsor believes that the TAP program, and implementation of the Pearl Bailey project, will help stimulate a new discussion about the history and future of Chestnut Avenue and development of a framework for revitalization.
