New Heritage Village Apartments Grand Opening

Sojourner’s Truth Staff

A grand opening celebration was held on Monday, July 16, in the yard of 1207 Superior Street, one of 41 buildings that have been renovated by the Vistula Management Company.

The $33 million project started four years ago, said John Kiely of the Vistula Management Company. Kiely first started working on renovating properties in the Vistula District in 1977. This most recent project involved the renovation of 250 units, all for low income families, with about 500-to-600 residents.

“They get to live in the nicest buildings on the block,” said Kiely. All told, the company Kiley formed decades ago has brought over 70 buildings back to life in the historic neighborhood – Toledo’s first neighborhood.
 

The money for the project was raised through the help of Ohio Capital Corporation for Housing, the Ohio Housing Finance Agency, Rose Community Capital, LLC and the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development with support from U.S. Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur. Kaptur and representatives from all those entities spoke during the ceremony.

“This is Toledo’s first neighborhood,” said Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz during the ceremony. “The beginning of our city. There is so much history in this neighborhood .It will ibe in neighborhoods like this that our city must rebuild.”
