Strategic Phasing of Improvements
The renovation of deteriorating and abandoned homes is a critical task that should be accomplished in a targeted manner that maximizes positive results and spin-off benefits. To support existing homeowners and recent investment activity in the neighborhood, this plan proposes a three-phase approach to prioritizing rehabilitation and renovation projects - particularly those that receive assistance from the City of Wichita. Early phases would focus on areas around Friendship Park, the community center, and Hilltop Church. Next phases would focus on the areas between the two initial phases (from Bayley to Boston) and then on the area southwest of Menlo.
