DUR cancels bid and orders new offering on Hyde Park Kenwood sites
The Department of Urban Renewal ended its 1965 contract with Kenwood Townhomes for 69 middle income units on 47th and Cottage Grove. A public hearing is urged on a combined development plan merging low density LR areas with high density HF sites along 47th, Dorchester, and adjacent tracks. The dispute includes FHA plan rejections, potential lawsuits, and ongoing processing revisions as officials reconfigure land sales for 1,200 housing units amid Hyde Park Kenwood renewal efforts.
