Northside: Fergus Street Homeownership Project

An update on the Fergus Street project... (Yes, this news is a month old.)

Cincinnati City Council voted unanimously to sell six lots to the Cincinnati Northside Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation (CNCURC) for one dollar.

Five of the lots are along Chase Ave, between Fergus and Mad Anthony streets. This is where three buildings were demolished last May.

The other lot is at Chase and Mad Anthony, currently occupied by a structure awaiting demolition.

The sale of these lots will allow CNCURC to construct three new LEED-certified home ownership units as Phase One of the Fergus Street Homeownership Project. It may be a few months before any action occurs. CNCURC will have to submit, and have approved, various levels of development plans to the City.
