July Updates!

We are happy to announce, along with our partners, the acquisition of 255 North Third Street!  Work will begin on the exterior sometime in the next 3-4 weeks.

 

Please keep your eyes and ears open in the coming weeks for opportunities to volunteer.  This is a big project and the house is going to need all of the help it can get!  

In other news, the neighborhood survey done by Millersville University is complete, and results have been shared with us.  Millersville staff and students talked to half of the households in the 200, 300, & 400 blocks of North Third Street.  This is a fantastic response rate and we have a lot of great information to work with now.

Members of the HSC have been discussing our project with Colonial Metals since the beginning, and it looks like tons of good things will spin out from this partnership, too!

Our next step is to kickstart a neighborhood group.  A big key to our success is getting more residents involved with this project and communicating with each other.  Because ultimately, we want to turn over what we're doing to a group based in North Third and begin again in a new part of Columbia!
