The EDA created a Housing <br /> Replacement Program to demolish hazardous homes and to redevelop lots <br /> to provide safe, decent and sanitary housing. <br /> The house located at 8265 Spring Lake Road was foreclosed by the <br /> Department of Housing and Urban Development and offered to the EDA <br /> to purchase prior as a result of the poor condition of the home. The poor <br /> condition of the home made the home ineligible for an FHA loan. The <br /> EDA sent an appraiser out to survey the condition of the property and <br /> found that the foundation was bowing which would eventually collapse. It <br /> • is the intention of the EDA to demolish the house and sell the property to a <br /> buyer/developer team for redevelopment of the lot. <br />
