Building Contractors in York PA

Community Development

Dorgan & Zuck’s office has been located in the City of York for over 27 years. During that time, our company has renovated many neighborhood homes and businesses. Now, Dorgan & Zuck has taken our commitment to a higher level by being actively involved in the community development of York. At Dorgan & Zuck we believe that the health and vitality of our neighborhoods are the key to the future of our cities. We recognize that a community is so much more than bricks and mortar. A community is families, businesses, homes, and open spaces.

Dorgan & Zuck has teamed with the YWCA of York, and the City of York in the midst of building and or renovating twenty-one (21) houses for homeownership, and the construction of public improvements and open spaces. Our role was primarily in land development, real estate acquisition, budgeting, and working with the city to create a redevelopment area and plan. Funding was secured from Pennsylvania Housing Finance Agency for the homeownership portion of the project. With this project seven (7) new town homes were built, purchased eight (8) existing homes from landlords to refurbish and sell to individual home owners. The remaining six (6) homes were purchased on behalf of the York Habitat for Humanity.

Dorgan & Zuck is working with Crispus Attucks to develop and renovate a stop on the Underground Railroad located on E. Philadelphia St. in York.

The key to our success in York lies in our public/private partnerships. We have been asked to take part in similar projects in other communities.

Dorgan & Zuck is familiar with various state and federal grant and tax credit programs, the historic review process, federal relocation guidelines, and how they must work together in a community development project.

“Dorgan & Zuck Building Contractors continue to be a positive force for community development in the City of York. The City is grateful to Dorgan & Zuck for its partnership with the YWCA, the City, and the state in renovating and rebuilding homes in the Olde Towne East neighborhood as part of the YWCA Renaissance Project. We applaud Dorgan & Zuck for its involvement in these partnerships.”
