MOUNT CARMEL – Pennsylvania’s Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin was in Mount Carmel Wednesday to kick-off a veteran’s senior living initiative.
Sec. Davin was joined by local government officials and community leaders to break ground on a block of affordable senior housing units. The housing will have a preference for veterans in Mount Carmel.
Davin said, “This project is the result of the coordination of several partners committed to making Northumberland County a better place to live.” He said the housing project on W. Seventh Street makes use of a long-vacant lot on a street that has been targeted as a community gateway corridor.
When complete, he said the project will consist of five one-bedroom, one-story garden apartments designed specifically to meet the mobility needs of seniors. (Deanna Force)
