Feature Article                                                                                                     York City Redevelopment Has Wide Reach - By Michael J. Katz

Monarch MillsCodo Northwest Triangle.  Each project is different and each is at a different phase.  One is built, one is going to be built, and one is in progress.  Most important is what these projects have in common . . . urban redevelopment.  These projects represent opportunities to experience all that York City has to offer.  There are people who are looking for the convenience of living, working, and playing in one centralized location.

For example, an individual will be able to purchase or rent unique living space full of character that only these redevelopment projects can offer.  This living space may be a block or two from the place they work, giving these individuals the opportunity to easily walk, bike, or drive to work.  After work, grabbing something to eat is simple and there are plenty of options.  One could find something to eat that is quick and inexpensive or sit back, relax, and enjoy a dining experience.  The evening doesn’t have to end after dinner; York City presents opportunities to catch a baseball game at the Sovereign Bank Stadium, a show at the Strand Capital, read a good book at the Martin Memorial Library, or go dancing with the York Swing Dance Club.

Many of us know quite a few people who live in the city.  Some have purchased properties, some rent.  Each and every one enjoys the convenience of living in the City of York.  They like being able to walk to the Central Market House for breakfast, walk or bike the Heritage Rail Trail, go from the Left Bank to the Harp & Fiddle for drinks and then simply walk home, and travel from Flair Fashion’s to Kimman’s to City Art.  The point is York City has much to offer making York the complete place to live.       

The affects of redevelopment will spread widely across York City.  New residential projects won’t just increase living opportunities in York City; it will help the local economy in general and the real estate opportunities like office and retail.  Additionally, each of these items will help the other; they will feed off of each other.  More people living in York City will help support and increase the need for more jobs in York City; more jobs in York City will support and increase the need for more retail; more retail opportunities will support and increase the need for more residential.  You see, it’s a rewarding cycle!
