New Housing Options Coming to CR
Housing has been a primary focus for the city for a number of years, and is now more important than ever. We will keep working with developers and look for opportunities to build on our housing options, especially creating additional affordable housing.
TWG Development

This is a 51 million dollar investment and involves construction of a new approximately 200,000 square foot, mixed-use facility of 244 rental units. The Developer plans to work with local historic non-profit organizations to salvage architectural elements of existing buildings, and incorporate into the building design historic elements of the block through plaques and photographs.
