  CUMBERLAND - A renovated East Side School, including town homes and garden apartments - 48 in all - should be ready for occupancy in mid to late 2009, according to Al Borvice of Housing Development and Neighborhood Preservation Corp. in San Francisco.
  
  "We received our Maryland tax credit.Construction should begin in the July-to-September time frame with one year of construction after that," Borvice said Friday."Whiting-Turner (Baltimore) will be our builders and Chaney Architects (Cumberland) is doing the design.
  
  "We will simply call the new building East Side School," Borvice said."I think that name may have had a negative feel among some people because of the deterioration of the building over time, but once they see the revision and the renovation I think it will be a positive name.We wanted to stay plugged in historically to the name and the location."
  
  Although the number of units has decreased from the original plan of 52, many of the details remain the same, according to Borvice.
  ...
  "The renovation will include the creation of a community room that could be used for a variety of gatherings," Borvice said.
  ...
