Thus, our City relies heavily on the <br />housing market of First-Time Home Buyers to reinvest into their properties, but also home <br />improvement loan programs offered through other agencies. And therefore, the City is in <br />the process of creating a Residential Resource Webpage similar to the Business Resource <br />Webpage at the following web address: http://www.ci.columbia- <br />heights.mn.us/business/business_resources/index.php.
