The Goshen Board of Works and Public Safety unanimously adopted Resolution 2026-14 to transfer three city-owned parcels at 301, 305 and 311 West Wilden Avenue to Habitat for Humanity of Elkhart County, Inc. for residential development.
The transfer covers properties acquired by the city during the Wilden Avenue reconstruction project, which required demolition of residences at those addresses. The board authorized Mayor Liy to execute the sale-and-purchase agreement and any related documents needed to complete the transfer.
Greg Conrad, president of Habitat for Humanity of Elkhart County, told the board the nonprofit looks forward to beginning construction and thanked city staff for working through the process. Board members did not raise objections during the discussion.
The resolution passed on a unanimous voice vote. Next steps include final execution of the agreement and Habitat’s scheduling of a groundbreaking and construction timeline with city staff and permitting officials.
