HOPE VI Properties
North Market Revitalization
The North Market Revitalization program includes 97 units on-site, 156 units off-site, and an additional 100 units of Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8) for a total of 353 units. The program will introduce 59 units of homeownership on-site through the HOPE VI project and is currently underway. The homeownership units will be named the North Pointe Community and be the first net-zero, HUD sponsored green community in the United States. Net-zero refers to the amount of energy being produced and used by the homes. The amount of energy produced by these green homes is the amount they will use.
The City of Frederick has contributed 4.2 million dollars to be used for infrastructure improvements with the remainder supporting the building of a community center on North Market Street.
This project has fostered partnerships with a wide range of individuals and organizations invested in the future health and revitalization of Frederick's downtown area.
