The project involves the construction of one garden-style apartment (3-Stories) building consisting of 32 units: 16 one-bedroom/one bathroom, and 16 two-bedroom/one-bathroom units, demographic 55 and older. A total of 69 parking spaces will be available to residents located to the north of the building. The projects construction costs are estimated at $11,932,712 to be funded with FHFC Multifamily Mortgage Revenue Bonds, $3,900,000; Non-Competitive Housing Credits (4% HC) equity, $580,452; HOME financing up to

FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
