ARCH Inc., a Fort Wayne's nonprofit historic preservation organization, recently awarded Community Development's Office of Housing & Neighborhood Services an ARCHie Award for an outstanding preservation project. As part of its efforts to positively impact property values for the West Central neighborhood by increasing homeownership opportunities, Housing & Neighborhood Services rehabilitated the home at 815 W. Jefferson Blvd. The home was sold to a family meeting low- to moderate-income guidelines. The project was honored because the completed rehabilitation of the property, including a large rear addition, is compatible with the historic structure. The historic rehabilitation contributes in a positive way to the historic West Central Neighborhood. Congratulations to the department!
