GRAND CHUTE, WI (WTAQ) – The ribbon is cut Thursday on a new affordable housing facility in Grand Chute.
The Appleton Housing Authority has officially opened the Grand View Townhomes on Bluemound Drive.
The building was dedicated in memory of former Appleton Housing Authority Board of Commissioners chairperson Kathy Groat.
Officials say the one to three bedroom units range from $300 to $14-hundred dollars, with residents paying based on income levels.
Brian Schimming of the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority says “I don’t care how great the economy is, you’re still going to have folks who have those challenges — and they’re legitimate challenges. You have a lot of people who’ve been pressed out of the workforce, trying to get back in. If we can give them a helping hand in projects like this, they’re gonna do fine.”
Roughly half of the 40 units are already off the market.
