Construction costs exceed sales/rental potential, deterring private investment
Concentration of subsidized and housing lower income households an issue (Fair Housing concern)
Leverage proximity to downtown – expand residential market from east
Build “at scale”– small infill projects of a few units each cost more and have less impact
Until neighborhood improves, will be difficult to attract market-rate households

Implications of flood hazards
Over half of the neighborhood is vulnerable to storms and flooding
Many vacant lots are located within flood zones in the northern part of area – federal money cannot be spent in flood zones
Vacant lots near Queen and Broad Streets are opportunitiesfor new mixed-income housing and other uses outside flood-prone areas
How can we increase resilience to flooding in future development?

Implications of flood hazards
FEMA establishes flood plain boundaries
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) requirements add cost to operations and development
HUD Greensboro prefers building entrances to be 2’ above BFE to provide funding
There will be financing challenges to rehabbing or building in the flood plain

Potentially limits what improvements can be made to buildings in flood plain
Limits funding sources for making improvements

Housing Focus: Trent Court
Rebuilding in flood plain:
Buildings in flood plain must be elevated 2’ above 8’ BFE• Adds construction cost but could accommodate
parking under buildings
• Design issues important to consider – how well do elevated buildings relate to ground?
• Adds operating costs for flood insurance

Adjacent parcels under single ownership offer one starting point to look for partners in off-site redevelopment
Brownfield sites in Broad Street corridor offer another starting point – consider cleanup costs and sources of funding (federal and state)
Other areas throughout study area may be good candidates as well (see earlier slide)
Acquiring private property depends on owner’s willingness to sell (no guarantees) and resources to purchase
