This morning the City of Lakeland Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) officially sold property in the Parker Street Neighborhood to Green Mills Group (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) for the construction of 80 affordable apartments. Green Mills Group intends to lease the apartments with rents affordable for those making between 40% and 80% of the area median income (AMI), currently $21,450 – $42,900 for a family of four.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Mills Group specializes in affordable housing and leveraged its knowledge of the tax credit marketplace to fund Midtown Lofts. The development will cost approximately $16 million and encompass an entire block. \u201cThe Community & Economic Development Team and City Leadership has been diligent in pursuit of additional affordable housing. It shows that we are centered on building a community to improve the quality of life of all of our residents,\u201d said Alis Drumgo, CRA Manager.\u00a0 He elaborated, \u201cHaving a reputable partner with a proven track record like Green Mills is a definite win for our community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Planning and Housing Manager, Teresa Maio said, \u201cMidtown Lofts supports not only the revitalization goals of the Parker Street neighborhood but also those of the City Commission as they address the affordable housing needs of the larger community. The addition of 80 workforce housing units on this property will transform both the neighborhood and the lives of the families that will call this community home.\u201d\u00a0 Green Mills Group expects a thirteen-month construction and lease-up period.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
