Cornerstone parking conversion
MVI acquired an abandoned building, formerly housing a community television broadcaster in West Newton. The now blighted structure borders MVI’s Cornerstone Apartments, a seven-unit affordable housing project that underwent major renovations in 2025.
In response to Cornerstone residents’ limited parking availability, MVI is set to repurpose the structure into off-street parking. This improvement aims to bring more people to West Newton’s downtown and meet the needs of current residents. A demolition grant application was approved by the Westmoreland County Redevelopment Authority and demolition is expected in the winter of 2027.
