Boundary Avenue Development
Boundary Avenue serves as a symbolic southern gateway into York City. Over the past decade and a half, the Crispus Attucks Community Development Department has worked to develop this area of the city to make it more attractive to professionals and residents. In building new commercial properties and renovating old ones, Crispus Attucks has addressed the needs of city residents while providing office space for workers from throughout York County. Thanks to this development, nearly 400 people are employed in Crispus Attucks owned properties.

VISTA Volunteer Matt Bechtel presents findings from 2009 Neighborhood Survey, an effort of the Community Development program sponsored by the Wachovia Regional Foundation.
The Crispus Attucks Community Development program is committed to the revitalization of southeast York City as a place to live, work and play. Through collaborative site design, property acquisition, fundraising, and site restoration, the program has developed a southern gateway to the city center at Boundary Avenue. The latest projects have also included sustainability features like geothermal heating and cooling in the new Early Learning Center and LEED Green building certification of the Greenway Tech Centre.
Long term neighborhood stability does not rest solely on home ownership. Neighborhoods are more than simply a collection of houses – they are places where people live. At their best, neighborhoods meet most of the daily needs of their residents.
