After a fire destroyed a downtown business center and mixed-use
apartment building, local residents celebrated the opening of the Mount
Joy Fire Rebuild project this week, Lancaster Online reports.
Immediately after the fire, Mount Joy Borough and Main Street Mount
Joy began meeting with property owners in the affected block. Rutherford
said a Borough Revitalization Collaborative consisting of Lancaster
County Housing & Redevelopment Authorities, Economic Development
Company of Lancaster County, Lancaster County Planning Commission,
Community First Fund and the Building Industry Association provided
guidance on the redevelopment effort.
Financing for the $840,000
project is being provided by Northwest Savings Bank, Community
Development Block Grant funds loaned through the Lancaster County
Housing & Redevelopment Authorities, and an Urban Enhancement Fund
loan through the county planning commission to Main Street Mount Joy.
