A new gravity sewer system under Eighth Street and the surrounding area will provide sanitary services and support residential development.

The James Street and Marsh Street properties rejuvenation project, the first step in bringing new life to a historic supportive housing site, includes demolition of buildings and remediation work. Future redevelopment will provide transitional and affordable housing units and office suites.
