The age distribution of residents has changed dramatically since the booming years of the 1960s when half the city's population was under 20 years old. The City hopes to meet these needs with redevelopment efforts which complement the character of existing neighborhoods. The Housing Element focuses on the maintenance and rehabilitation of existing housing stock and addresses the housing needs of residents. Providing a range of housing opportunities for a variety of household sizes, age groups and income levels.
Meeting changes in housing needs through creative redevelopment in appropriate areas.
Protecting and improving physical and visual quality of existing residential areas through careful maintenance, rehabilitation, code enforcement and public investment. Maintaining consumer confidence in the future of neighborhoods and the community as a whole. The project has been a long time coming, according to HRA Administrator Regina Harris. We have attempted to redevelop this phase of the Oxboro Redevelopment Project for over 10 years. We think this is a very unique project because it combines commercial and residential uses on one site.
