ousing is by far, one
of the most crucial
elements of any city, particularly those which have diverse populations, but it is not the only one. Urban Villages™ offers a innovative approach for cities to utilize underused land, reverse the effects of blight, equitably provide a range of housing products
for diverse income groups,
increase their property tax
base, and provide local wrap around services. NIBC is positioned, with its partners, to bring this
fresh approach to the City
of Battle Creek, as part of
its 4th pillar of community development. By embracing the Urban Villages ™ platform, NIBC will bring together the components for housing development and community services, into a micro sized footprint that maximizes collaborative efforts by all stakeholders.
