Downtown Brownsville is getting a major facelift! A new partnership is kicking off to inject some serious energy and excitement back into the heart of the city.
The commission is reviewing whether to allow the demolition of a 1930s rental house on Ringgold Street to make way for a new single-family home and ADU. This balances neighborhood infill and housing needs against the preservation of historic building stock.
Homeowners at 202 Ebony Ave. got the green light to build a rear addition and update their driveway, with a small design tweak to keep their historic tax credit eligibility.
A mural project at the historic Victoriano Fernandez Store hit a snag because too many board members had conflicts of interest, leaving the commission without enough members to vote.
We'll tell you when it next appears on an agenda or changes status.
