A prominent corner in Ohio City is bustling again following the $65 million rehabilitation of the Forest City Bank/ Seymour Block project. The c.1880 Seymour block and the 1904 Forest City Bank building were combined into one project to provide ground floor retail and 38 low income apartments. Both buildings were National Register listed. The Snavely Group combined historic tax credits, low income housing tax credits, new market tax credits, and several local incentives such at TIF, vacant property loan, and tax abatements to make this project happen. The project highlights beautiful architectural features in combining the neo-classic and Italianate styles of each building.
The award was presented to The Snavely Group.
