The Development and Modernization Department is responsible for developing plans, identifying resources and implementing capital improvements, as well as managing public and/or private partnership opportunities to assure the value, effective use and proper management of our real estate assets. Programs managed by this department include: major rehabilitation of infrastructures and facilities, demolition and site development. Development and Modernization manages the non-routine repairs and upgrade of HACP buildings and property by engaging contracted architects and qualified construction companies. Examples of work managed by the department include roof replacements, internal or external structure corrections and major mechanical replacement contracts, as well as redesign of interior facilities to preserve the life and usefulness of our facilities.
Working with private sector developers, the department manages the demolition of old, and development of new housing neighborhoods, establishing mixed income environments.
Once contracts are awarded, Development and Modernization manages these agreements, monitoring progress and authorizing payments. The department is also responsible for identifying and competing for funding in support of HACP programming objectives.
