YNDC, the City of Struthers, and other project partners celebrated the completion of two new single-family homes with a ribbon cutting.
The completed homes are located at 43 Narcissa Street and 78 Prospect Street. These are the first 2 of 8 homes that YNDC began constructing this spring.
According to Mayor Catherine Cercone Miller, the city was excited to start the project but needed assistance. She said YNDC and its partners made the project progress seamlessly. "I called Ian and talked to Deb, Tiffany, and YNDC and we were able to get these projects off the ground. We met with City Council and approved everything to go through YNDC because we couldn't manage this program. Within days, we met with Joe Koch construction and we couldn't believe how quickly everything took place and the ball just kept rolling."
Of the eight homes in Struthers, there are four different models and each home will have three bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open-concept living, kitchen and dining area, first-floor laundry room, front porch, and two-car garage. When homes are completed, they will be listed for sale. Down payment assistance will be available for eligible homebuyers through a partnership with Huntington National Bank.
The project is made possible through a grant award to the City of Struthers from the Ohio Department of Development's Welcome Home Ohio program. The vacant lots were acquired from the City of Struthers Land Bank. Mahoning County Land Bank also provided land for the project. The builder for the project is Joe Koch Construction. The project partners include the City of Struthers, the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation, and the Eden Haven Housing Development Group.
