The Nina-McPherson-Kingsbury (NMK) Redevelopment Corporation has been meeting regularly during the past 9 months to write a redevelopment plan for the “Nina Triangle”.
The plan considers the unique racial, political, and economic situations found in Nina Place and discusses various issues such as displacement, technical assistance for owners, tax abatement, public improvements, eminent domain, and standards for rehabilitation.
The role of the NMK is not as developer but as helper and advisor to neighborhood-based redevelopment corporations, partnerships of existing property owners, and current owners who desire to make building improvements.
The completed redevelopment plan has been submitted to Miles Pomery of the Community Development Agency’s planning division for informal feedback.
Mr. Pomery was asked to meet with members of the NMK corporation in late Feb. or early March. Copies of the plan will then be distributed to members of the Nina Redevelopment corporation (NRC) who will be invited to respond, make suggestions, and offer alternatives.
The Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council who formed the NMK will also receive copies of the plan.
The council plans to ask both groups to make a presentation during the regular meeting night on March 9th.
Meanwhile the winter takes its toll on more buildings in Nina Place as at least three more heatless buildings empty out and pipes begin to burst.
A few more potential board-ups are added to a neighborhood where other buildings are experiencing major improvements.
