Body
BACKGROUND: Jane Genzel of Peoria Opportunities Foundation, is proposing to develop affordable housing sites that includes townhomes and apartments at S Shelley St/W Antoinette St/S Summer Ave (near St Ann’s Church). The properties are city-owned having been acquired through the Land Bank program. The proposed developments align with the Southside Revitalization Plan and MacArthur Corridor plan as part of the Near Southside Housing Needs Assessment and Community Revitalization Plan. In total, this project will add approximately 50 new units of affordable housing and some additional commercial space in area code 61605.
