The last recommendation calls for a clear shift in the redevelopment strategy of demolition and new construction (embodied by the both of the Columbia Point phases) to renovating vacant buildings. With the removal of tax delinquencies and municipal liens, not only would it be environmentally more sustainable to renovate, but it would also be less expensive and keep housing costs lower and minimize displacement through the continued provision of modest housing.
Shift dominant strategy from demolition/new construction to rehabilitation
