Two new home development projects sponsored by the Matt Urban Center in the city’s Broadway-Fillmore district should be ready for construction by the beginning of the year.
An apartment complex for very young adults can get under way now that a $3.1 million state grant has been awarded for the project.
And, the Buffalo Planning Board recently approved Crescent Village, a $5 million community development project in a 16-block area that will include market-rate new builds, subsidized new builds, homes that have been rehabilitated and sold, and owner-occupied homes that have been upgraded.
“We’re so lucky,” Marlies Wesolowski, executive director of the center, said of the grant from the state Office of Temporary and Disability Assistance.
