The Best in American Living Award (BALA) - 2006

Delaware Street Project

Indianapolis, Indiana(Silver Award)

Description: The Delaware Street Project is a two-block redevelopment project in Indianapolis, Indiana that is attracting outside investors and creating homeownership opportunities for low- to moderate-income families. The area is transitioning from a deteriorated urban neighborhood to one with attractive homes that are true to the traditional architectural fabric. The Delaware Street Project is stimulating this transition with the purchase of vacant lots on which 13 new single-family homes have been built. The new homes range in size from 1500 to 1800 square feet and have a number of features that make them durable and energy efficient.
