I never saw this posted, so I am creating a new thread:
The Village on Walnut in OKC using unusual tech for affordable, historic neighborhood
A different kind of pocket neighborhood is being stitched onto the fabric of one of the oldest parts of Oklahoma City: The Village on Walnut, 22 new houses anchored by a historic home at NE 26 and Walnut Avenue.
It's different because of the nonprofit partnership developing it, the construction technique and materials used — insulating concrete forms, not lumber, think Legos filled with concrete — and because the land, until now, has been untouched since before statehood.
The nonprofits, Positively Paseo and Jefferson Park Neighbors Association, went together in their first joint project with The Village on Walnut. They are community housing development organizations —CHDOs — dedicated to revitalizing OKC's urban core.
