4th Street Preservation Project
About the 4th Street Preservation Project
The 4th Street Preservation Project will strengthen the Heritage Preservation District in the Dayton's Bluff Neighborhood by directing rehabilitation resources and technical assistance toward a targeted area in the neighborhood in order to preserve the housing stock and encourage home ownership.

A neighborhood planning process convened with the assistance of the Dayton's Bluff Community Council, the Dayton's Bluff Urban Partnership, and other community partners created development principles that will be used to inform proposals for rehabilitation and other community development.

To date, the City's Housing and Redevelopment Authority (HRA) has acquired 11 single-family homes and duplexes within the Dayton's Bluff neighborhood that are available for purchase.

Properties for Sale
All properties available through the project are strictly for homeowner occupancy. Consideration will be given to developers who are working with home buyers who will purchase the home upon completion.  If you are interested in viewing a property, please email Sheri Pemberton-Hoiby or call her at 651.266.6615.
