Description

Blighted buildings and absentee owners impact our rural Main Streets' vibrancy, economic opportunity, and social psychology. This is a David and Goliath story about the steps that Hugo Main Street has taken to gather local and state agency support and resources to revitalize a blighted property on their Main Street, from anchor eyesore to planned new small-scale workforce housing development to support teacher housing.
