Mayor Baker Unveils Wilmington Adopt-a-Block Program |
|
For Immediate Release
Wednesday, July 30, 2008
New initiative is another in a series of programs intended to generate citizen and business involvement to keep Wilmington as clean and attractive as possible
Wilmington Mayor James M. Baker, City Council Member-At-Large Charles ‘Bud’ Freel and members of the Clean Wilmington Committee today introduced the City’s latest community-based effort to help make Wilmington a cleaner and more attractive City.
The Wilmington Adopt-A-Block Program was unveiled at a news conference on East 22nd Street at Northeast Boulevard, one of the first stretches of the City “adopted” for regular quarterly cleaning by the Village of Eastlake Civic Association and the Vandever Avenue Civic Association.
In recent weeks, more than a half-dozen organizations have stepped forward during the planning stages of the program so they could be among the first to sign-up to clean an area of the City at least four times a year and more often if possible. Participating groups can register for the Wilmington Adopt-A-Block Program through the City’s Office of Constituent Services by calling 302.576.2489, or by visiting the City’s website at www.wilmingtonde.gov/adopt-a-block and downloading an application. Groups will work directly with the Department of Public Works on the collection of debris and litter gathered during Adopt-A-Block efforts. Groups are encouraged to clean-up as large an area as possible depending upon the number of volunteers associated with their organization. |

Neighborhood Rebuilding Efforts Continue with a New Homeownership Development on North Market Street
Mayor Baker Announces Construction of Prestwyck Townhomes—a Northeast Wilmington Community of 16 Single-Family Homes between 28th and 29th Streets off North Market Street
Wilmington Mayor James M. Baker today announced and broke ground on another in a series of projects to stabilize and strengthen City neighborhoods. This time, according to the Mayor, the City’s focus is in the Northeast Wilmington community, in the area of North Market Street between 28th and 29th Streets. A new townhouse project by the name of Prestwyck Townhomes will be built on the site of the former Prestwyck Apartments—a long-time vacant and abandoned property acquired by the City through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in 2005 and demolished by the City in 2006.
“Wilmington’s new prosperity in terms of residential and business development is evident throughout the City,” says Mayor Baker. “Our momentum in rebuilding and revitalizing neighborhoods has been nothing short of remarkable. Over the past eight years, we have seen over $45 million invested in new housing initiatives, and more than $64 million additional in residential and commercial rehabilitation permits. We’ve also seen the rehabilitation and occupancy of hundreds of formerly vacant properties. Today we are pleased to announce the addition of 16 beautiful and affordable townhouses to this Northeast neighborhood, which will provide new opportunities for first-time home buyers to realize their dreams of homeownership.” |
