On a cold January morning, dignitaries,community stake holders, leaders of Copping university, staff of the Michael Group and many others came out to celebrate the beginning of the Coppin Heights Urban Revitalization project. Lead by a partnership between Coppin Heights Community Development Corporation, Coppin State University and the City of Baltimore’s Vacants to Values program, the Coppin Heights Urban Revitalization will bring new housing, increased public safety, jobs and more to the west Baltimore corridor of North Avenue.
As the General Contractor, The Michael Group Inc will begin by renovating one existing row house, building one new town house from the ground up and installing one modular home on a vacant parcel on North Avenue. In addition to the Coppin Heights Urban Revitalization project. The Michael Group has been working in Coppin Heights for last year on the St. Stephen’s Court Apartments project. Each of these important community projects will have a lasting positive effect on the neighborhood.
