Kerr Avenue housing project would be affordable, efficient

URBANA – The city's goal for a 3.2-acre vacant tract on Kerr Avenue is ambitious: Develop a national model neighborhood that is both affordable and energy-efficient.

"We're committed to doing something really creative here," said Mayor Laurel Prussing about the city-owned site, located south of Kerr Avenue and just west of Cunningham Avenue, about a half-mile north of the downtown.
