The Grafton Hill Community Development Corporation (GHCDC) exists to more efficiently deal with property redevelopment and ownership opportunities. Since 1984, the CDC has effectively managed the acquisition and relocation of three houses threatened with demolition. Two of the acquired and relocated houses were able to utilize Federal and State Historic Tax Credits, a first in the State and Nation. We have acquired land for redevelopment, facilitating a community garden, and encouraging new construction which is beginning throughout the neighborhood. We have provided education and technical assistance for developers to utilize Federal and State Historic Tax Credits. We are moving into a period where we will be creating and installing historic markers throughout the neighborhood to showcase Grafton Hill's important history. This fall we intend to begin an initiative to "ReCreate" the Deeds Barn on it's original site, while utilizing Historic Tax Credits to repair our neighborhood's historic fabric.
