Gary plans 11 new homes near Borman Square Park

Gary officials advanced plans to build 11 homes near Borman Square Park, on vacant, city-owned lots in the 800 block of Monroe Street. The initiative, developed with the University of Notre Dame and Carriage House Studios, invites builders to apply to construct the homes. Under the Gary First Pilot Program, prospective developers receive preapproved designs and construction guidance, giving the city greater control over housing development.
