REID PURCHASED LAND TO DEVELOP MARKET-RATE HOUSING

(Richmond, IN)--Here’s more on the development of a new residential neighborhood that’s planned for what is now a vacant area just south of the intersection of Backmeyer Road and South 37th.  The development would include 178 new homes and up to 250 apartments.  That property was purchased and then resold by an LLC formed by Reid Health.  Reid issued a statement Wednesday saying that it "established the LLC and purchased land to be a conduit to help develop market-rate housing for our region, which is desperately needed."  Reid did not specifically answer a question about whether or not the previous city administration had declined to bond the project and what role the new administration has played.
