Habitat for Humanity presented its plans to build a four-building complex comprised of two and three-bedroom condos at the southeast corner of the intersection of Locust Avenue and 14th Street. Just 14 of the 36 units would be market rate, with the others being set aside or low-income (20) and very-low-income earners (2).
While the project could provide critically needed affordable units in the city’s Washington Neighborhood, a common obstacle for new projects in the city reared its head: lack of parking.
Surrounding business owners called into the meeting to oppose the plan as presented, saying it could negatively impact their businesses that were already dealt a number of blows by the COVID-19 pandemic.
