Nina Place Redevelopment Corp Report

March 1981

Historical March 1981 report or notice. Original dates, prices and contacts describe the source period; current availability has not been established.

NPRC, composed primarily of property owners in the Nina Place area, submitted a proposal to CDA on January 20.

The proposal seeks funding for the complete rehabilitation of three key properties in the area, and includes a plan for the relocation of any displaced families. Displacement has been a major concern of NPRC in the formulation of the overall Nina Place Development Plan.

The proposal accompanies a separate one, submitted privately by a property owner and NPRC Board member, which seeks development funds for two vacant structures. Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council and Washington Heights Neighbors Assoc. have provided letters of neighborhood support to accompany both proposals.

If funding is approved, the redevelopment of five structures in the area should provide a boost to further private redevelopment.

The Development Committee of NPRC has been working with the Urban League to prepare an overall plan and architectural drawings for the Nina Place area.

In conjunction with this overall plan, surveys of the owners are underway to determine specific cost estimates and construction needs of any participating owners. Funds for private rehabilitation will be sought for participating owners in a separate proposal.

The Urban League will provide technical assistance to each owner.

In an effort to restore city services to the Nina Place area, long neglected by Streets, Health and Forestry officials, NPRC has been meeting with City officials, asking for normalization of city services, and investigating what public improvements can come from that normalization. NPRC welcomes community help in its effort to lead the revitalization of Nina Place. Any questions can be directed to Doc Netterville, President, or Jack Lazard, Vice President, Nina Place Redevelopment Corporation.
