RALEIGH, N.C. – Property bordering Colonial Avenue and White Street in Greenville, N.C., drew the attention of local media and neighboring citizens here as officials from State Employees’ Credit Union and the City of Greenville gathered for a tour of two homes renovated by SECU’s property management subsidiary, State Employees’ Credit Union*Real Estate (SECU*RE).
The homes are part of a SECU*RE effort that began nearly two years ago, working with City of Greenville representatives to identify focus areas and help expand revitalization of distressed properties.
Modeled after a similar SECU*RE initiative in Durham, N.C., the effort is aimed at reinvesting in declining west Greenville communities through the acquisition of foreclosed or neglected properties for renovation, as well as vacant land for new construction, helping create safe neighborhoods with quality affordable housing for rent and homeownership.
On hand for the tour were Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas, along with Rose Glover, Greenville City Council member, Merrill Flood, City of Greenville’s director of community D\development, Niki Jones, City of Greenville’s community development senior planner, Russ Taylor, SECU SVP of SECU*RE East, Sam Adams, SECU SVP of SECU*RE and Rich Hutson, SECU SVP of the Greenville-Charles Boulevard branch.
