Legacy Place Senior Housing

Legacy Place is an absolutely magnificent illustration of collaboration, hard work and the tenacity to see a project to realization and successful implementation.  This sentiment was echoed by attendees of the OCCD Hybrid Spring Meeting in Columbus, Ohio this week.  OCCD welcomed members of the re-development team, including Rich Ebert, Executive Director of the Champaign Economic Partnership (CEP), together with Marcia Bailey, past CEP Executive Director, Duane Miller, CEO of T&H Investment Properties, and Joel Hauenstein, VP of Operations at Alliant. 

The re-development team presented “Successful Implementation: Legacy Place Senior Housing”, which highlighted the transformation of three local historic buildings into functional community assets.

​At a time when many communities across the state are encountering the challenge of how to renovate, refurbish and reuse existing older buildings – rather than demolish and build new – the presentation provided some much needed direction and guidance.
 
The OCCD Spring Meeting was well attended both in-person and virtually this year in its first hybrid meeting held in Columbus, Ohio.
