Securing and maintaining vacant <br />dilapidated structures is costly. Therefore, the Elk River HRA has created the Blighted <br />Properties Demolition & Forgivable Residential Loan program to include loan funds for <br />demolition activities when an imminent redevelopment opportunity does not currently exist. <br /> <br />FUNDING AVAILABILITY: <br /> Available funding amounts vary per budget cycle. <br /> <br />DEADLINES/REQUIREMENTS: <br /> The Blighted Properties Forgivable Residential Loan <br />Program operates on a semi-annual application cycle.
