This is the first summer for the Fulton Block Builders (FBB) and it has been a very successful one. Linda Eagan, the FBB director, has been extremely pleased with the exterior improvements being made by homeowners, however there is one group she is particularly happy to be working with. FBB has had the opportunity to engage five different landlords who are revitalizing eight different properties throughout the city. One of the guiding principles for Eagan has come from Charles Buki, a founder of the Healthy Neighborhood Initiative; which FBB is based on. “When we say ‘healthy neighborhoods’ we do not mince words. We believe that lack of income should not disqualify people from growing up and living in nurturing communities. So when we say ‘healthy neighborhoods’ we mean a place where it makes sense for people to invest their time and energy and money.” – Charles Buki.
