Construction has started on a multi-million dollar affordable housing project next to the Petersburg Medical Center.
Local company Rock N Road began excavating the site on Excel Street last week in preparation for a new building with 15 apartments.
“We’re just really excited to get going,” said Glenn Gellert with Swell LLC, the Anchorage development and financing company that’s doing the project. “We’ve been working on this project for quite a while now and it always feels good when the digging starts.”
