A second community conversation is set for the future of Dixwell Plaza, the retail anchor of Dixwell’s main commercial artery.
The event is scheduled to take place at the Elks Lodge, 87 Webster St., on Tuesday, March 10, from 6 to 8 p.m.
ConnCORP, the organization that has been buying up the plaza with plans to rebuild it, is hosting the event (which was eventually scheduled for a different time and location).
ConnCORP unveiled its general approach for the plaza at a well-attended first forum on Jan. 29. Click here to read about that.
Sounds good. I hope it becomes a reality . I think more home ownership is a key here and everywhere. Instead of creating more sec. 8 housing, get individuals and families into co- ops or condos with no down payment and really low monthly payments . Or set up a rent to buy program. Or some kind of hybrid program that subsidized the mortgage payment - anything that will help renters become owners to build both social and economic stability.
