Commission licenses United Neighborhoods Inc. to begin work on Highland Street parcels
Summary
The commission approved a licensing agreement allowing United Neighborhoods Inc. to start soil testing and preparatory work on two redevelopment parcels at 1237 and 1241 Highland Street; the parcels are part of a subdivision of 28 single-family parcels and a potential senior living site.
The Hammond Redevelopment Commission voted to authorize a license and agreement allowing United Neighborhoods Inc. to begin site work on two HRC-owned parcels at 1237 and 1241 Highland Street.
Ann Taylor described the parcels as vacant residential lots at the former Memorial Park entrance in the 3rd District and said the city has subdivided nearby land into 28 single-family parcels with a larger parcel reserved for possible senior living or duplexes. The licensing agreement will permit soil testing and initial site work so the nonprofit partner can move forward with building two single-family homes.
After a motion and second, the commission approved the license by roll call (5–0). Staff said the license allows United Neighborhoods to begin necessary pre-construction work on the HRC-owned land.
