Belle Sherman Cottages Underway

If you haven't ventured east of Cornell Street lately, you haven't noticed that the Belle Sherman Cottage development is well underway (click on the link to see a newly completed website with information about the houses).

Land has been cleared and construction equipment has been delivered. 19 single family homes and 10 town houses will fill the site, along with a playground and easy access to the foot path. Developer Toby Miller told the neighborhood association in May that a model home would be erected by December with completion of the full project by December 2013. As can be seen from the new sign on Mitchell Street, Agora Developers is teaming up with Audrey Edelman to sell the houses.

We will welcome the new residents of this development into our neighborhood association once they move in. Even though they will reside in the Town of Ithaca, we feel it is important to include them in our community.

Some neighbors will share the website with HR staff at Cornell and Ithaca College so they in turn can share the information with incoming faculty and staff. If you know of other organizations or individuals who might be interested, please feel free to promote the development as a family friendly neighborhood.
