Building for the Future

Property owners in our District recognize that they have an important role to play in the positive growth of Chapel West. Your Board of Commissioners works on cleaning, maintenance, safety, zoning, planning and bringing people together in order to build a better community. Since we moved into our offices at 1205 Chapel St. improvements and renovations have been ongoing. From large projects like the Study Hotel, Yale’s Rudolph Hall, Loria Center, renovations at AYA & 1195 Chapel St. to Howard K. Hill’s Funeral Home refurbishing and John Cannon’s 1187 Chapel St. In between these projects, Vin Gagliardi renovated 1179 Chapel, Rimage upgraded the entire front of his building, Chapel Pediatrics upgraded their landscaping at 1441 Chapel ,Michael Criscio followed suit at M & M Pawn Shop along with Off Broadway, Inc., EST, EST, EST, and the Pizza House investing in improvements to their real estate. Arnie Lehrer is just finishing up with a new brick stairway that looks great.

Rimage’s 25th anniversary

Twenty years ago, I moved uptown from College Street, eventually  settling in our 1850’s home. I shared space across the street with Bill  and Marilyn at Hulls, Bobby at Carafano’s and the Schaeffers as a  landlord and the old Santa at Lenoce’s. To stake claim to a growing  neighborhood, beautify it w/gardens and welcome new people to an  area that had often times been shunned was a goal of mine, and with the  help of other new businesses like London Ltd. and Geraldine’s we’re  seeing it happen. I’m proud to stand on our “new porch” and look out at what progress and healthy development can bring. Here’s to another  25!
