Site Assessment Feasibility Study
The Housing Study identified properties with potential for developing affordable housing, and a Community Impact Grant from Virginia Housing supported further study of two locations. The City worked with Land Planning & Design Associates, Inc. to complete a site plan, feasibility study, and preliminary engineering report for City-owned property on Central Avenue by Keister Elementary School, and on Neff Avenue next to A Dream Come True playground.
