WELLINGTON FAMILY HOMES

PROJECT NARRATIVE:

Wellston Community Empowerment Corp. has partnered with Knight Development to demolish (15) units and substantially rehabilitate 186 units on sixty-five (65) parcels as part of the Wellington Family Homes Development Project.

Some of the modernization will include completely renovated apartments with compliant accessibility features as well as an updated leasing office and community services center. New amenities will be designed to address long standing security and safety concerns. The development project will primarily serve low to moderate income families and the properties will target individuals with children and formerly homeless individuals and families.

This project is a community reinvestment that is projected to have a significant and lasting economic impact for the City of Wellston. It represents an anchor for stabilizing the population and plans for growth. The City of Wellston is working on multiple economic development activities which are dependent upon the success of this housing development and future projects.
