The committee unanimously approved a resolution adopting the Heritage House redevelopment plan. The plan, which still needs to be approved by the full council, calls for acquiring all the blighted parcels and preparing the troubled former apartment complex for redevelopment.

Proposed uses for the site include a business park, senior health care, indoor recreation and event center expansion. The estimated redevelopment cost, according to the plan, is $2,656,822."

Billy Jones on Wednesday, March 25, 2015; "Costs To Repair Heritage House: $17 Million"

"I asked the City of Greensboro to provide me with a copy of a report/study on the costs of repairing/rehabbing Heritage House, the condominium project condemned last July and property owners--some of them residents-- locked out by the City of Greensboro for a myriad of changing excuses .

SKA Consulting Engineers has estimated the total costs of repairing the building at $16,962,000.

according to the plan, is $2,656,822.

What I find interesting is that the City of Greensboro building inspections department passed the building in 2008 when 177 units were sold to individual homeowners. From perfectly safe structure to a building recommended for destruction at a cost of $1,056,100 to the taxpayers in just 6 years must surely be a world record in inept governance.

And an excellent example of well-to-do developers getting their way while building inspections personnel are told by their bosses to look the other way.

Expect 0 accountability from our paper of record.

Current City Council can do no wrong, 
according to the News and Record

If this doesn't justify a Federal investigation I don't know what does.  And just so you know, as of last week Heritage House homeowners reported to me they have yet to be paid anything for their properties.  As a matter of fact: no one from the City of Greensboro has contacted them since last August.

Their properties have been stolen.  Pee and dog poop did not destroy the structural integrity of a concrete and steel building or cause the roof to leak."
