Project Goals

Construction began on this project in the fall of 2018 and was completed in the fall of 2020. The project includes 4 owner-occupied homeownership units, including one income-restricted unit. All of the units have been designed and built under the guidelines of the City's Energy Positive (E+) program, and the homes will produce more energy than they consume on a yearly basis.
