Aiken housing effort links city and authority in 60 duplex replacement
Neighborhood projects led by New Labor and the housing authority reshape the north side of Aiken. The Busch-Home plan converts 60 duplexes into 48 single family homes with city infrastructure support and inmate labor landscaping. Chesterfield North and Toole Hill see upfront city construction costs repaid via state and federal grants. Homeowners receive ownership training to sustain upkeep and insurance. The broader goal is neighborhood rebirth and lasting community pride.
