'Rehab One, Get Two' pilot targets Aetna neighborhood; facade improvement rebates available


GARY — Eric Reaves, head of community investment for Gary, said he hopes real estate investors, building owners and tenants take a closer look at the city s façade improvement program and an initiative aimed at revitalizing the Aetna neighborhood.  
Under a new pilot program, the department is unloading some of its land inventory — free of charge — to developers. Reaves said experienced and licensed contractors can apply online to participate in the “Rehab One, Get Two Free” initiative.
Calling it his “brainchild” that came to him in the middle of the night, Reaves said the “Rehab One, Get Two Free” initiative is the type of out-of-the-box thinking Gary needs to put its mass inventory of properties back on the tax rolls. ....

Early on in GUEA s fallout, Clay touted a comprehensive plan using those parcels to develop housing in the Emerson neighborhood with the promise of new storefronts in the 600 and 700 blocks of Broadway.
GUEA was formed in 1985 under a state law permitting U.S. Steel and other Gary businesses to reduce their property taxes by making charitable donations of more than $15 million to the association between 2000 and 2003. ....
