Bohemian plan aims to keep artists in city housing
Artist advocates and developer Battles propose discounted rents and a mixed use arts hub to lure artists to Portsmouth. The idea involves building live work spaces near the Gableview building and funding via Feasibility money from ArtSpeak and potential Community Block Grant funds. Local officials say the project could revitalize the area, potentially closing the nearby adult shop and boosting property values while requiring ongoing private and public support.
