How Ugly Can It Get?
 For many neighborhoods including SOHI it is the same old story with our c-stores and gas stations, signage and facade issues. I put together a piece addressing these issues and more in my latest blog entry.
Very Ugly... 
In putting together my first every Vlog (video log) I actually came to the district during the summer, at night and undercover to film some of these issues, check out the footage. |

So how would Neighborhood Stabilization Funding work in the SOHI District? This example is really quick and I caution not a text book case however gives you the quick overview on how it might be applied.
Get in on the ground floor! We are constantly seeking retail and service businesses to locate in street-level spaces within our district. There are a number of opportunities for those who maybe interested in the commercial space in the SOHI District including the West Pointe property on 27th and Wells. Locally grown or nationally-known, SoHi has a place for you. It is worth a call!
