NKCDC intends to partner with local sustainable developer, Postgreen Homes, to develop a project  that will involve the redevelopment of a former PA State recognized Brownfield (which has been cleaned and remediated per Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection standards) into a national model of non-profit/for-profit green development partnerships. The project will incorporate various elements energy efficiency and green building technology including pourvous pavement, rain barrels, green roofs and a storm water manatement system that will serve as a case study and model for the new environmental strategies being proposed the Philadelphia Water Department (PWD).

The overall goal of the initiative is to provide quality affordable, workforce housing to residents that is both sustainable and energy efficient, but also effective in transforming blocks and increasing the level of economic vitality in the neighborhood.

The Moyer Green Homes will be a mixed income development project consisting of 14 single-family town homes. Of the 14 homes, 4 of the units will be sold at 100% median income, the subsidy of which will be provided by the sale of the remaining 10 homes. This project is in line with NKCDC mission as the organization continues to work with residents to stabilize and reuse blighted property, attract small businesses to the area and create housing opportunities.
