Associated Neighborhood Development (AND) is not just building houses. Through public and private partnerships, streets are resurfaced and converted to one-way traffic, water meters, a bus stop and bus shelter are all relocated, and trees for landscaping are provided. Additional lighting, sidewalks, and landscaping add to the overall improvement of the block.
AND continues its redevelopment of this area in phase II with the acquisition of the adjacent property on the river-bound side of the 2800 block of South Prier Street in square 423 extending around the corner to the 3200 block of Washington Avenue. Construction began in January 2005 and will be complete with five new additional homeowners by July 2005.
