Description
This was the historic rehabilitation and transformation of a former factory into a mixed use facility in an area with a 16% poverty rate and unemployment over 10%. However, within one week of the closing the building was completely destroyed by the largest fire ever seen in the City and lost all historic tax credits. It was restructured from a historic rehabilitation into a larger new construction. The project will create 35 temporary construction jobs and 35 permanent jobs.
