Best Hill
Development: College Hill's
corner plans
When
three of the
four corners of College Hill's busiest intersection went dark two years
ago, the College Hill Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation used
the opportunity to anchor the neighborhood instead of allowing the urban decay that often follows
vacancies of big-box retail. College Hill activists successfully landed
city funding and big-name local developer Al Neyer, Inc., which
presented plans for "Linden Park Commons" Feb. 8. The three empty corners of Hamilton
Avenue and North Bend Road where Shuller's Wigwam restaurant, CVS
Pharmacy and Kroger grocery store used to be could soon offer mixed-use
housing, retail and entertainment complexes. It's a success befitting
the oldest community redevelopment organization in the state; CHCURC celebrated its 30th anniversary
at the
same dinner on Feb. 8. (Stephanie Dunlap)
