The Lowell neighborhood of Fresno—one which has long been blighted, attracting crime in the form of prostitution, drugs, and gang violence—is about to undergo a dramatic revitalization, bringing excitement and hope to area residents and local officials. The Fresno Housing Authority has contracted with Brown Construction to lead the renovation and new construction of two affordable housing developments which will bring 30 affordable and attractive multifamily housing units, along with the promise of new life, to the Lowell neighborhood.
