Amid a statewide shortage of affordable housing units, officials say the Mary Street Apartments, a 40-unit housing project, will be finished sometime in May.
A virtual forum this week on homelessness was the third and final in a series that addressed the intractable issues making homelessness a chronic problem.
Governor Janet Mills and Speaker Ryan Fecteau today joined officials from the Town of Skowhegan and Kennebec Valley Community Action Program to break ground on a new, major housing project, the Mary Street Apartments. The project will provide 40 new affordable housing units for families in the Skowhegan area and is the direct result of legislation sponsored by Speaker Fecteau and signed into law by Governor Mills last year.
