LOUPOT’S BOOKSTORE WE WANT ALL ENGINEERING AND BUSINESS TEXT BOOKS Northgate - Across from the Post Office ‘ Shopsteading Pioneers bach the s] United Press International BALTIMORE — When the coor dinator of Baltimore’s shopsteading program looks at a row of tired three-story brick buildings along West Baltimore Street, she envisions something else: An ice cream shop here, a beauty shop there, a doctor’s office, a picture framing shop, an Oriental gift shop — even a pottery shop with a kiln in back. To Kathleen C. Deasy, it is a bustling urban village with shop keepers living above their stores as they did at the turn of the century. “Were providing a way for the small business person to get started in a very supportive atmosphere, she said. In December 1977, Baltimore began a “shopsteading” project. It is patterned after the city’s successful homesteading program, which al lows prospective homeowners to buy vacant city-owned houses for $1 if they promise to renovate and live in them. Under shopsteading, stores in buildings the city acquired through tax sales or block grant money are available for $100 in several once- thriving commercial districts. Merchants must agree to reno vate their property, bring it up to building code requirements, and operate a business for at least two years before it can be sold privately. The city offers shopsteaders low- interest, long-term rehabilitation loans and free commercial counsel ing to help them take advantage of tax breaks and other loan programs. The city benefits because neighborhoods are upgraded, 40 buildings that have been vacant for years go back on the tax rolls and small business gets a boost. Baltimore offers shopsteaders 7 percent, 20-year loans, which are supported by bond issues. It will lend them KK) percent of the cost of renovation, if the appraised value of their rehabilitated property is 120 percent of that cost. Most shopsteaders borrow about $65,000, Deasy said. Renovation costs average about $25,000 per floor. “We find the people getting into this are real pioneers. The pioneers are no longer in the West; they’re in downtown Baltimore,” Deasy said. She led a group of prospective shopsteaders through the West Bal timore Street neighborhood known as Union Square, one of the areas where the shopsteading program applies. Many of the buildings need ex tensive interior work and some have to be gutted before renovation can begin. But even those without frills like salvageable tin ceilings or woodwork are considered real bar gains by the shopsteaders. “It would be virtually impossible to buy a piece of property down there (without the shopsteading program), said William R. Bull, 31, who plans to open a unisex beauty salon on West Baltimore street. Bull, who will move his family into an apartment over his shop, ex pects to be open for business by summer. His renovation will cost about $68,000. “I believe the city’s going to come hack up,” said Bull, whogr e , Baltimore. “It just seemed golden opportunity.” Because Union Square is toric district.
