September & October Updates

We haven’t been able to post any updates for a while, but that doesn’t mean things haven’t been happening!

The Columbia HSC met on October 8th and heard updates about three different branches of the project.

North Third Street at Sunrise

First, the 3P Working Group talked about the progress they have made putting together a façade improvement program for North Third Street.  The 3P (Porches, Plantings, Paint) Group includes six residents from North Third and LHOP representatives.  The idea is to have LHOP money available in the form of low interest loans.  The loans can be used to repair and restore the facades of the houses along North Third. 

The HSC spent a long time discussing the nuts and bolts of the program and the best balance between loan rates, payback periods, and size of the loans.  We want to make sure the loans are useful to people, but also that money cycles back into the program within a reasonable period of time.  As loan payments are made to LHOP, the funds can be sent back into the community as more loans.   The 3P Working Group is taking this feedback and getting a final draft ready for the November HSC meeting.  A smaller group is also looking at how to create a pre-qualified contractors list.

Second,  it was shared with the group that Colonial Metals will be redoing the facades of the three houses it owns in the 500 block.  A long term goal of the group was also discussed.  The plan is to seek out grant funding in 2015 to do major streetscape improvements along North Third Street.  The project would be based on some of the initial suggestions worked up by Doug Phillips.  Also, a survey team from Millersville University will be in the 500 block soon, filling out the forms that were done earlier for the 200, 300, and 400 blocks.

Lastly, 255 North Third Street is gutted and nearly ready for interior work to begin.  A regular work schedule will be set up for Mondays, Thursdays, and every other Saturday.  Once exact times are known, the information will be posted on Facebook.

As always, if you have any questions or would like to help out, please let us know on Facebook or by sending an email to ColaHSC@gmail.com!
