New Armenian Town Being Built in California
12.01.2007 14:31 GMT+04:00

/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The new Armenian town development is bounded by
inside Santa Clara, Highway 41, M Street and O Street. The 10-acre
redevelopment project is becoming reality as the first building rises
from an area once filled with the modest homes of Armenian
immigrants. This will be the new home of Fresno’s 5th District Court
of Appeals. It will also be the anchor of the ‘Armenian Town’
redevelopment project, envisioned as a mix of office and retail, as
well as public open space and parking. Jeanette Jurkovich, Friends of
Armenian Town, says, "Cities across America embrace old and new
development. They know it’s not an either/or." Jurkovich says these
five homes from the old Armenian Town were to become part of this
project.

Jurkovich says this area on the 10 acre site across from the Armenian
Church would create a bridge from the past to the present. And once
restored, could become home to retail, restaurants or art galleries,
reports ABC.
