August 22, 2012 - Montgomery County Commissioner Debbie Lieberman joined Congressman Mike Turner and Sr. Rose Wildenhaus from St. Mary Development Corporation for the August 22nd ground breaking of Roosevelt Homes in Dayton! Located just north of West Third Street, Roosevelt Homes will consist of 43 single-family lease-to-purchase homes, providing low-income individuals and families the chance to purchase their own homes. It’s another step in Dayton’s neighborhood revitalization, where St. Mary Development and its partners come together to turn areas of blight into places of pride; downturn into growth; despair into hope. St. Mary Development has built more than 150 single-family homes throughout the Dayton area. These are beautiful homes that feature up to four bedrooms, two full baths, walk-in closets, washer/dryer connections, central air conditioning, and two-car garages. Roosevelt Homes is the newest development in this revitalization plan, but it isn’t the last.
