Overview Posted 11/10/06
EAST CENTRAL REVITALIZATION STRATEGY
Goal: To stabilize and revitalize Ogden’s East Central Community so these neighborhoods become
“neighborhoods of choice.” These neighborhoods have historic urban design, architectural distinction,
neighborhood services and housing choices available to all segments of Ogden’s community.
Objectives:
1) Restore the real estate market values so people can invest confidently.
2) Improve the visual appearance of properties for maximum market impact.
3) Provide flexible incentives for residents to achieve the desired market diversity.
4) Create expectations of quality of design and improved property maintenance.
5) Engage the residents in “ownership” of neighborhood improvement issues and solutions.
General Strategies:
1) Geographic Targeting: The neighborhoods bounded by Harrison Boulevard to Quincy Avenue and
24th Street to 30th Street, as well as the Jefferson Avenue Historic District, have the greatest
opportunity for success. Activities will include a professional coordinator to establish neighborhood
councils, assess needs, and focus improvements on a block level.
2) Market targeting: Implement a market campaign to attract middle-income homebuyers and long-term
renters from outside the neighborhoods and keep the stable owners and renters from leaving the
neighborhoods. Activities will include home buyer assistance, neighborhood ownership surveys,
leadership training, and establishing partnerships with local associations and Weber State University to
promote housing opportunities in this area.
3) Property targeting: High profile “eyesore” properties need to be improved or redeveloped. Activities
will include the purchase-rehab-resell problem properties and HUD foreclosures, zoning and fit premise
code enforcement, and focusing housing rehab dollars here.
4) Resource development: Provide incentive capital to give this community an advantage. Activities will
include leveraging up to $250,000 of the EDI funds with the Fannie Mae “Community Express Product”
to provide a line of credit of up to $1 million, work with the Fannie Mae Utah Partnership Office to apply
for an expanded “American Dream – Phase 3” community investment designation, complete the
designation of the East Central National Historic District so federal tax incentives are available to
homeowners who invest in their properties, and leveraging rehab funds through Utah Housing
Corporation and the Utah Community Development Corporation that do not have income restrictions on
owners or residents.
