NOAH buys vacant home in Galion

Editor’s note: This is a fol­low up to a story in last Saturday’s Inquirer, “NOAH takes on another project.”

The NOAH Project bought a vacant home from Galion Build­ing & Loan Bank on Nov. 16 using pri­vate dona­tion money. The pur­chase is part of the organization’s Com­mu­nity Action Reha­bil­i­ta­tion Efforts to remodel some of the vacant homes in Galion and sur­round­ing communities.

Su Rowles, Bar­bara Sullinger and Bruce Angell from NOAH were at the bank that day to file the nec­es­sary paperwork.

Brad Gib­son, gen­eral con­trac­tor of IR Con­cepts, Inc. of Galion, was there as well. His com­pany will be doing the remod­el­ing work for that prop­erty, both on the inte­rior and exte­rior of the home.

Work began the fol­low­ing week. Those inter­ested in help­ing with the remod­el­ing must have expe­ri­ence in a rel­e­vant area, but oth­ers are encour­aged to do yard cleanup, plant flow­ers, etc. The NOAH rep­re­sen­ta­tives do not know how many homes they will be able to remodel, but they hope this is the first of many.

NOAH Project is the only non-profit, com­mu­nity devel­op­ment hous­ing orga­ni­za­tion in Craw­ford County that is cer­ti­fied by the state. To make a dona­tion to the orga­ni­za­tion, send to 1000 Dove Lane, Crest­line, Ohio 44827.
