PROJECT NAME . PROJECT NAME
It's hard to believe that this project began life as a façade improvement!  It evolved into an all-new mixed-use building that brings new residential and commercial life to the heart of the Village.

About the Project
This project began as a simple façade improvement project in 2004, but resulted in the demolition of 2 buildings and the construction of what has become a signature project in the heart of the Village.

Features of this mixed-use redevelopment project in the core of the Fairport business and canal district include 11 residential units with 4 commercial spaces on the first floor and significant public investment in the nearby Kennelley Park and a pedestrian promenade.

About Urban Renewal Agency Assistance
The Fairport Urban Renewal Agency supported this project with a $300,000 low-interest loan and a façade grant. The total project cost is close to $1,200,000.
