Recently Fulton Block Builder (FBB) volunteers sat down to meet with the Oswego Renaissance Association founders Paul Stewart and Steve Phillips. FBB volunteers came with a list of questions for Paul and Steve, who graciously took time to answer each one. They say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery and FBB administrative director Linda Eagan and the FBB volunteers are anxious to imitate ORA’s achievements. The Fulton Block Builders 2018 season has begun with huge support and interest.
The Fulton Block Builders 2017 Block Challenge is seeing the final stages of home renovations being completed as the initiative’s deadline approaches at the end of October. Participants in the Block Challenge from neighborhoods throughout the city have until October 31 to complete their exterior home renovations to receive a matching grant from Fulton Block Builders. Pre-applications flooded the FBB volunteer group with 209 homeowners initially applying. 171 homeowners from 25 blocks submitted final applications with a final decision of 22 blocks with 160 properties awarded Block Challenge grants. Of those properties, nine belong to six landlords that own homes in the city, 95 have completed projects, 37 are still underway before the October 31 deadline and some properties had unforeseen circumstances preventing their completion. In total, $70,000 in Block Builder checks have been written and $180,000 worth of improvements have been made city wide.
