Homeowners Workshop Equips Residents with Housing Opportunities

The Homeowners Workshop, held at Harvey City Hall, brought together 23 participants eager to learn about homeownership opportunities. The JT Group, a key stakeholder in the city’s redevelopment, presented its plans to invest in the rehabilitation and redevelopment of properties throughout Harvey. Their initiative seeks to transition residents into homeownership while ensuring long-term residency requirements, fostering community stability and economic growth.

  • Opportunities for residents to become homeowners through the initiative.
  • Eligibility requirements and program participation details.
  • The role of economic development in strengthening Harvey’s neighborhoods.


Harvey Lofts Ribbon-Cutting Ceremony Marks a New Chapter

On February 12, Mayor Christopher J. Clark and city officials gathered at the site of the newly developed Harvey Lofts to commemorate its grand opening. This modern 51-unit residential complex, located at 154th Street and Broadway Avenue, is a testament to Harvey’s resurgence as a prime destination for private investment.


“Not long ago, we stood here breaking ground on this ambitious $19 million project, and today, we celebrate its completion,” said Mayor Christopher J. Clark. “Harvey Lofts is more than a building—it’s a symbol of progress, resilience, and a brighter future for our city.”


Originally home to a historic bank, this site now serves as a state-of-the-art residential development featuring modern amenities, enhanced security, and accessibility to South Suburban transportation hubs. The project exemplifies Harvey’s commitment to sustainable development and economic revitalization.


Mayor Clark emphasized the importance of continued investment in the city, noting that Harvey is open for business and welcomes partnerships with developers dedicated to improving the community.


As the City of Harvey moves forward, it remains committed to fostering opportunities for residents through homeownership initiatives and strategic development projects. These recent events highlight Harvey’s forward momentum and dedication to economic and community growth.
