Since initial efforts began in 1993, a total of 27 properties have been acquired and 17 new homes have <br /> been built or are underway. As a way of recouping some of the project costs, the Fridley Housing and <br /> Redevelopment Authority(HRA)can collect the increased taxes generated by the new home for 15 years. From <br /> time to time the HRA has lots available for sale; inquiries should be directed to the Housing Coordinator at(763) <br /> 572-3591. <br /> Back to Housing and Building. <br /> Fridley Home Remodeling Fair <br /> In addition to the programs and services mentioned, the Fridley HRA sponsors an annual Home Remodeling Fair. <br /> The fairs host displays by more than 60 contractors,workshops on various home improvement topics and <br /> drawings for free door prizes.
