Community Action Partnership...
CAP has demolition funds  
March 23, 2012 

Community Action Partnership of the Greater Dayton Area has received from the Ohio Department of Development NSP 2 money for demolition of blighted structures within Census Tracts 5101, 5555.01, 5555.02 and 5601 in Darke County.  The grant is for Demolition/clearance of vacant residential structures that are blighted foreclosed and /or abandoned single family properties that would require more funds to rehabilitate than to demolish.  This is in order to stabilize and improve targeted neighborhoods.   Community Action has demolished blighted houses in Hollansburg, Greenville and Union City.  At the present time, we are preparing to do two houses in Greenville.   

Anticipated benefits of the project are that the dilapidated residential structures will be removed and such work removes sites at risk for arson and other crime.  Infestation is a risk to surrounding homes. This stabilizes a neighborhood.
