The Hilltop Community Revitalization Project is moving forward with great success, with two houses completed and several underway in Phase 1 of the project. On March 29, 2023, a representative of the CVPDC and Town staff in Bedford ceremonially welcomed town resident Cathalia Wright into her new home on Crenshaw Street. This house is the first of 10 homes scheduled to be rehabilitated or substantially reconstructed in the Hilltop Community by the beginning of 2024. Efforts are currently underway to apply for additional funding to continue housing rehabilitation in the Phase 2 area of the Hilltop Community Revitalization Project.
The Hilltop Community Revitalization Project represents a Phase 1 project to improve and revitalize the living conditions of low- and moderate-income households throughout several close-knit neighborhoods south of the Centertown area in Bedford, Virginia. The project will enhance the economic vitality and quality of living for the Hilltop Community through housing improvements to safe, decent, and standard conditions as well as preserve the existing housing stock. This project is funded primarily through a $963,983 multi-year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (VDHCD), as well as funding contributions from the Town of Bedford Redevelopment & Housing Authority. This project represents the first in an envisioned long-term series of improvements to revitalize this vital community in the Town of Bedford.
