This Franklin Street house had sat boarded up and surrounded by overgrown vegetation for some time.

 

The property was transferred to Neighbors Of Watertown, Inc and a rehabilitation scope was put out to bid.  The Development Authority of the North Country provided a zero percent loan to Neighbors to complete the rehabilitation work.  Upon completion the property was sold to an owner occupant family and returned to the tax roles.

 

Officials gathered to kick off project.   Comptroller McCauley, center right, is obviously thinking of new tax revenue.
