The Fairbury community redevelopment authority (CRA) is excited to announce that it has successfully negotiated the purchase of a commercial property located at the intersection of Highway 136 and E Street.  The CRA recognizes the importance of removing blight at this location to assist with redevelopment, potential utility infrastructure improvements and to enhance the overall look of the community.  To help with cleanup on this property the CRA is working with the NDEE Brownfield assistance program, and Fairbury City staff.  Additionally, the CRA is applying for a Thriving Communities grant to request assistance with redevelopment, planning and site preparation.  The CRA will be listing this property for sale in the near future and encourages developers who are interested in this property or any of the other CRA properties to reach out for more information by contacting the Fairbury Community Redevelopment Authority at (402) 300-3016 or contacting the Fairbury Development Services Director, Laura Bedlan at lbedlan@fairburyne.org
