Lindsay Heights

After 30 years of blight and deterioration, a vision to restore the century-old neighborhood to its original beauty began to take shape. This vision included building new houses on vacant lots, restoring existing older homes, cleaning up neighborhoods, and improving the quality of life for residents.

Hometown Village Apartments

Hometown Village was specifically developed to offer Section 8 housing for residents who desperately needed rental assistance. In an attempt to spread affordable housing statewide, WHEDA financed its first Section 8 scattered development, which touched 10 rural Wisconsin communities.

The Stella Hotel

After years of on and off vacancy, continual assault by the elements, and even once being engulfed in flames, The Stella Hotel & Ballroom breathes with fresh new life. This historic building, which has been called a catalyst for growth in downtown Kenosha, will serve as a guiding star by which the development of other restorations may follow.
