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.”
