Investors from California plan to restore every boarded-up house on an entire neglected city block in Utica, according to a page-one story in the Observer Dispatch. The same developers have already rehabilitated homes on Rutger and John Streets, and are now focused on Park Avenue, where they have already begun work.
The developers are quoted as saying there are some beautiful homes on Park Avenue, and "we have a shot at buying enough of them to turn the whole street around."
Continuation of the developer's efforts will depend on the amount of financial assistance they receive from city agencies, according to the report, which quotes Mayor David Roefaro as supporting the plans.
