TJPDC Works with Columbia to Seek Housing Grant

With TJPDC assistance, the Town of Columbia is pursuing CDGB funds to improve housing conditions for its residents. With the heart of town sitting close to the confluence of the James and Rivanna Rivers, Columbia has been challenged by the threat of flooding for the past two centuries. The Town hopes that focusing attention on the main corridor through the flood plain will alleviate some of the most pressing housing needs and catalyze revitalization of the whole town. TJPDC staff has helped the town convene a management team, survey residents, assess all of the buildings and infrastructure in the town and collect material needed for a planning grant application to DHCD.
