Community Living North Grenville and Lockwood Brothers Construction have partnered on an affordable housing project. Construction may begin this spring. The 11-unit complex, being built on Jack Street, could be ready for occupancy by fall.
Executive Director Sandra McNamara says Community Living has a vested interest in affordable housing. She says there is a critical need and housing is difficult to find for people living on a low income. Â
Community Living will own the property and rent out the units.
McNamara says there is an existing duplex on the property. She says 9 new town homes will be built in 3-unit blocks. McNamara says they will be nice units, built to accommodate affordable housing with no garages or basements.
Planning for the project started two years ago. A public meeting to rezone the property is set for March 12 at 7:00pm.
Applications for the units will be made available to anyone in the community who qualifies for affordable housing. For more information, contact Community Living directly by calling 613-258-7177.
