WHAT IS BLIGHT?

A blighted property is one we walk by, shake our heads and think: “Someone should do something about that”.

Once you start talking to people who are city planners, government personnel, elected officials–you hear the word blight often. To the people who work to keep cities buzzing, blight is an omen of a neighborhood. Blocks with blighted or abandoned properties are more likely to attract crime, violence, and have elevated lead levels and lower property values.
The absolute meaning of blight is vague.  A 2015 report for Keep America Beautiful found “the one constant in the history of blight is its highly contested and malleable nature.” Blight is graffiti. Blight is abandoned properties. Blight is litter. Blight is a row of dilapidated houses. Blight is poverty. Blight is an eye sore.

Whatever the definition, blight is always the outward sign of a city’s inner dysfunction. A broken policy, a broken community, and a broken economic system. Blight is the thing that makes a city unappealing to live in and, at its worst, dangerous. And for as long as the word has been applied to cities, there have been well-meaning concepts on how to restore it.

Tear it all down. Plant more trees. Send in the police. Don’t send in the police. 

Keep America – and all of its cities – Beautiful.

In an era when revitalization seems to be everywhere–abandoned rail lines are now parks! Abandoned factories are now sleek lofts! Abandoned malls are now Whole Foods! Blight is what happens when people get left behind. Blighted and vacant properties across the country have increased by 50% over the last 15 years.
No state is unscathed. Blight legislation is now on the books in all 50 states, though it often looks like bans against shoring up windows with plywood as opposed to truly meaningful actions. But today’s blight is also a road map of where the nation is thriving and where it is distressed.
The Sunbelt has the lowest blight rate. People are moving in, not away, from cities like Phoenix and Las Vegas. Or they are moving where the jobs are and the quality of life is manageable, so-called “magnet cities” like Seattle or Austin. The cumulative effect of this migration means that there are abandoned, blighted properties clustered across Appalachia, the South, and the Midwest, with a sprinkling of blight throughout the Northeast. Blight settles in smaller cities, rural areas, the places in the country where you are not surprised to learn that the population is shrinking such as Youngstown, Ohio; Springfield, Massachusetts; and Huntington, West Virginia.
If blight in Mobile is the story of the haves and the have-nots, it is merely one example in a larger story written across the map of the United States. In today’s economy there are clear fortunate and less fortunate. The fortunate get reclaimed rail lines. The less fortunate get high grass and weeds.  Unless more decide to do something about it.
Renovating abandoned homes and developing lots is a strategy more cities are adopting to increase property values and lower crime. As multiple studies in different cities have shown, vacant lots and dilapidated homes are key indicators of poverty and crime.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

VASH Developers LLC. commends those cities and local governments for implementing programs aimed to stop property values in communities from diminishing further. It’s an idea that has caught on in many cities battling blight: Clean up the streets and empty lots, and you have a recipe for lowering crime and encouraging community engagement and business development.

The result has been a noticeable decrease in crime and an upswing in economic mobility for many neighborhoods.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

VASH Developers LLC.  establishes a new direction for  communities  in terms of its housing, economic development, environment, resources, quality of life, and design by partnering and working with local invested community members in establishing new development and redevelopment of underused sites.

The overall goal is to make communities a safe place for all people of all ages, backgrounds, and income levels to live, work, play and shop.  

ENVIROMENTAL QUALITY

Simply put VASH Developers care. Attractive design is not optional. The quality of the physical environment – attractive housing, streets, buildings, parks, and open spaces – has a direct impact a community’s economy, the sustainability of its neighborhoods.
VASH Developers envision all communities as vibrant places for people of all ages, lifestyles, and incomes to safely live, work, play and shop

TO ACHIEVE OUR VISION…

VASH Developers partners with those cities and communities actively seeking to attract a balanced, sustainable population representing all ages, income levels, backgrounds, and lifestyles.

Actively planning accessible places for business, community services, and activities, including higher-density housing clusters.

Actively planning and offering a diversity of housing options, including not only a range of housing prices but also housing types such as single-family houses, condominiums, multi-family high-rise and low-rise rental units, town homes, and patio homes. Suitable housing available in the neighborhood of one’s choice for people at all stages of their lives, ranging from new homebuyers to empty nesters.

Keep America – and all of its cities – Beautiful.

WHAT WE STAND FOR

“When Communities Thrive, We All Rise”.

VASH Developers LLC. takes pride in building better futures and taking part in the implementation of strategic initiatives and actions that require partnerships between varying sectors of communities.

Vacant lots can be green built and re-purposed for new uses, local government officials, community organizations, and residents, increasingly view vacant properties as opportunities for productive reuse, re-imagining blight and dilapidation as urban farms, community gardens, and health facilities. Vacant homes become assets in neighborhood stabilization and revitalization efforts that are renovated and reoccupied.

Our Vision, Your Future.
