SitemapThe people behind the Shorb revitalization in Canton have similar intentions for the Carnation City.
Build Ohio plans to build 10 new, single-family houses in the Liberty Heights area in 2026 on Alliance's north side.
The homes will be built on reclaimed lots owned by the city.
The infill project aims to create affordable houses that the city severely lacks, multiple officials said. The effort will target low-income neighborhoods in Ward 2. The average price will be $200,000, but organizers will be securing $50,000 to $60,000 in subsidies as a down payment to give families equity.
Ground is expected to be broken in March for the first five houses. Then five more, and even more in 2027.
Mayor Andy Grove said the city's administration "fully supports" the project.
"Creating 10 new, affordable housing units and employment for our skilled labor, all while stimulating population growth is exactly the direction we are heading in 2026," Grove said.
Let's take a look at the stakeholders, and the purpose for this project:
Build Ohio is a new joint venture between Canton For All People and the Youngstown Neighborhood Development Corporation. Both specialize in neighborhood revitalization programs.
