Shelynda Burney-Brown, vice president for real estate development for CPDC, said Tuesday that CPDC has the financing and is now seeking federal approval to proceed with the next phases, a renovation of the former Baker School in Gilpin Court into 51 units for Fay Towers residents and the creation of a 194-unit, mixed-income apartment complex at Duval and 1st streets that is to include 72 units for Fay Towers residents.
CPDC could face a stumbling block. It has requested that the city provide $1 million to pay for installation of utility lines and other infrastructure for the 1st and Duval project, but the city has responded that no money currently is available.
