A COLLAGE OF DILAPIDATED HOMES OF THE NORTH MAIN STREET AND JIMTOWN AREA

Over the last several months we have been questioning the wisdom or the lack of wisdom of those who are in charge of improving the housing stock in the North Main and Jimtown areas.  All we hear from the DMD, Evansville Redevelopment Commission and Hope Of Evansville is how they are striving to bring move affordable, safe, liveable and energy inefficient housing to the Jimtown and North Main areas.

EVANSVILLE, Ind. (WFIE) – A complete rehabilitation to a home at 101 East Tennessee was approved on Thursday by the Board of Public Works.

A $240,000 grant agreement between Hope of Evansville and the EVANSVILLE DMD will completely rehabilitate the abandoned home.

The cost will cover the rehabilitation plus an extensive environmental review, appraisals, and construction drawings.

We give five (5) cheers to Channel 14 TV for bringing this extremely eye-opening investigative story to the taxpayers of this community.

  1. Please add the homes at Missouri St. and Elsas Ave. One block from N. Main St.
    These homes also are bringing down the property values for us homeowners in the area.
    Not to speak about the people going in these houses and the rats they hold.
    Also people dump heavy trash behind these properties.
    You can find needles around these homes also.

  2. I’ve apply for housing also say I didn’t include my grandson I alway have ….it ur on disability u got set income

  3. So does section 8 rentals. We have a complex in are neighborhood off of Hoosier Ave . We have people park and walk back to the complex late nights. We find shopping carts trash on our property. Its not safe to walk or for your kids due to the excessive speeding from those residents traveling on Sweetser and Hoosier . Or the aggressive dogs that use are yards has waste. Section 8 brings down property values also .

  4. Too bad about the Evansville implosion. I grew up in that town. Never saw it so bad. Partly due to the building of the Lloyd and new Hwy 41, dividing the town into quadrants. Mostly due to bad leadership over the years, but they keep returning the same losers to office every election cycle. Those properties need to be taken down before the entire quality of life in Evansville is completely destroyed, as it almost is. Everybody will not fit into Newburgh! lol

  6. You should offer these home to the poor like they did in Detroit Mi if they repair them to code
