In keeping with what I've been writing about an overarching approach to urban revitalization, the Live Baltimore program's latest e-letter is promoting their upcoming workshop series.
I am particularly intrigued by the workshop on Buying and Rehabbing a Vacant Property. It's not an easy in the best of times and places. I remember the problems (thefts, etc.) back in the day in the H Street neighborhood. It's got to be worse in Baltimore.
Still, I think these kinds of programs -- resident attraction programs -- work best through the provision of a complete package of services and support programs, including financing.
Otherwise the time period over which revitalization takes is extremely drawn out.
