Affordable housing units a step closer to becoming reality
Additional affordable housing units are closer to becoming a reality after the Columbus City Council took action Tuesday night to help that project along. Robin Hilber is with the city’s department of redevelopment. She says the proposed Gladstone Apartments will be off of State Street…
The complex would allow residents who earn 60 percent of the average median income.
Council approved a resolution including naming that property an economic revitalization area, and another offering a 10-year tax abatement.
