When you think of 7Th Street in downtown Rockford you probably don't associate that area with fine living but one non profit group is looking to not only provide some nice loft homes to live in but improve the area as well.

Lantow Lofts have been under construction for some time but should be done by mid October. They're being developed by Zion Development, a group with roots in the local Lutheran churches.

These are completely non profit homes. Zion Development depended on fundraising to help pay for the construction.
