Community Development

In the last several years, Phillipsburg has aggressively worked to improve the housing and commercial stock of Phillipsburg. Many blighted buildings have undergone major rehabilitation or destruction (in extreme cases), followed by new construction or reconstruction.

Success

From 1999 through 2003, thirteen blighted buildings underwent rehabilitation or replacement. In 2004, six additional buildings are targeted for improvement or condemnation. In one case, the owner stated that he wished to donate the property to make room for a parking lot.

Illustrated below are just a few examples of improved properties.
