Community Development

The Community Development Division is committed to making the City of Concord and its neighborhoods better places to live, work, and play. Through the efforts of this Division, the City strives to provide safe, decent, affordable housing, a suitable living environment and economic opportunities, specifically for low and moderate income individuals and communities.  The City has several programs in place to accomplish this goal. These programs are federally funded through the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Home Investment Partnerships Act (HOME) Programs.

 

Current Projects

 

Hawthorne Street Revitalization
One of the City’s more recent endeavors was the redevelopment of Hawthorne Street (historically known as the Highland area) on which nine parcels, many with deteriorated homes, were purchased by the City to construct a “mini” subdivision containing affordable housing.  Click here for additional information.

Clearwater Artist Studios

CDBG funds are being used to create a catalyst for neighborhood revitalization with the Gibson Village community.

The first phase of renovations to Clearwater Artist Studios, the city’s former electric operations center, is complete. Artists are currently leasing nine studios from which they work to create, teach, and sell art. A 2,200 square foot gallery enables the artists to hold exhibitions of their work. 

Site improvements will be complete by Summer 2012, followed by further renovation of interior space within the site. Once fully renovated, Clearwater Artist Studios will contain over 30 studios, a gallery, a community market space, and a café. The adjacent Village Greenway and open space will offer opportunities for outdoor concerts and events.
