Salvation Army Redevelopment Proposal

press release: District 2 Alder Patrick Heck and District 6 Alder Marsha Rummel are hosting a neighborhood meeting on June 6 to learn about the Salvation Army's plan to restart redevelopment efforts at 630 E. Washington Ave.

Their proposal is just taking shape, but possibilities include demolishing the current shelter structure and constructing a purpose-built shelter and transitional housing units with social services, in addition to a combination of affordable and market-rate apartments. The adjacent lots containing a used car dealership at 648 E. Washington, a building at 12 N. Blount St., a parking lot at 655 E. Mifflin, and the QTI/Post Office building at 702 E. Washington, may be included in the redevelopment.

Details will be discussed and input taken at the meeting - all are welcome to attend.
