Nueva Vida Groundbreaking

The Cramer Hill Community Development Corporation held a groundbreaking ceremony in Camden. The Nueva Vida Homes, 14 in total, are the first homes to be built in Cramer Hill since the introduction of the redevelopment of the mostly Latino area of Camden. This housing initiative is the first 14 homes of 250 homes the Cramer Hill CDC will build over the next 5 years in Cramer Hill.

The amenities of the fourteen homes include: three bedrooms, one to two and a half baths, a full basement and an attic with storage capacity, front rear porches, parking pad on site, and twill be Energy Star. The homes were designed by Wallace Roberts and Todd, and will be built by a local minority General Contractor, Arline Construction Service LLC.

The 14 for sale homes range in price from $98,000 for twins and $125,000 for corner single lots. Eight of the homes have been pre-sold prior to construction. This indicates to me very clearly the need for affordable options in homeownership in Cramer Hill. The homes will be completed in June 2007.

Our fundamental goal is to insure that everyone has an opportunity to live in Cramer Hill. Affordable homeownership is the cornerstone of our strategy, and this represent the CDC first efforts toward acheiving the goal of construting 250 homes over the next five years.
