Overview

The Fairmont Community Development Partnership (FCDP) is a private, non-profit organization that has the dual objectives of preserving neighborhoods and providing new homeownership opportunities in Fairmont, West Virginia.

The FCDP’s primary service area is the Maple/Ogden/Jackson Addition Neighborhood.  This rebuilding area is Fairmont’s fastest growing neighborhood and conveniently located just northeast of Fairmont’s Historic Downtown. In a recent venture, the FCDP has also expanded its service area to include the Virginia/Gaston Avenue Neighborhood, just southwest of Fairmont's Historic Downtown. 

The FCDP provides affordable housing sold to low to moderate income families and a combination of market rate and affordable apartment rentals. 

New and rehabilitated homes in the Maple/Ogden/Jackson Addition area are near the city-operated Windmill Park.  Homes and rental units in the Virginia/Gaston area are near West Fairmont Middle School.  Both neighborhoods are easily accessed via the new I-79 Gateway Connector.  As the re-building proceeds, attractive, high-quality rehabilitated homes and new construction homes are replacing older, blighted homes.

Homebuyers from Fairmont, Morgantown, and Clarksburg are picking Fairmont as a great community with exceptional housing opportunities.

In a similar venture, the FCDP also contributes to the area’s community development by restoring vacant downtown and southside properties which have commercial potential.
