The City of Hammond Redevelopment Commission is offering three parcels of vacant land for private purchase and redevelopment.

The buyer will assume all costs for acquisition, any required environmental remediation, and subsequent development, while the city provides title insurance and permits access for inspections. Proposals are due by the receipt deadline, after which they will be opened and evaluated based on project quality, schedule, financial capacity, and overall benefit to the community. • Three parcels available: 4421 Ash Ave ($6,200), 6121‑23 Columbia ($10,100), 1033 Kenwood ($3,900). • Required deliverables: detailed redevelopment plan, cash deposit (5 % of parcel price), and compliance with environmental and permitting requirements. • Evaluation criteria include project scope, schedule, bidder reputation, experience, and financial resources; the city may award to the “highest and best” bidder.
