The current owner of Country Village Apartments, has developed a financing package to have the property upgraded. An integral part gE this financial package would be the eligibility of Country village Apartments to receive and participate in the Rental Rehabilitation Program. As such, the owner is requesting that City Council authorize the expansion of the program to include Country village Apartments. As you recall, the neighborhoods of Brighton, Prentis Park, Cradock, Park View and Truxtun are currently eligible to participate in the program. Attached for your consideration is a resolution providing for the expansion of the Rental Rehabilitation Program to include the Country Village Apartments." Mr. John F.
