This parcel is one of the last pieces of available land large enough for a work-force housing development at a scale that will make a true impact on affordable housing options in Bloomsburg. The project proposes the construction of 32 townhouse units arranged in 8 buildings. A separate Community Building contains space for community functions and services. The porches of the homes all face a common tree-lines street. The parking is designed to be de-centralized and yet close to the units. Front porches will connect the units as a community and covered rear patios with exterior storage will provide privacy. The foundations will be Frost-Protected Shallow Foundations to reduce costs. The project will obtain a National Green Building Standard Silver level certification and Energy Star for Homes. The development is financed by LIHTC/PennHOMES.
