The 20-unit low-cost housing project in Perth kicked off last week on the 17th of February, and Perth Mayor John Fenik couldn’t be happier at how the partners that made the development possible came together to work for the betterment of the community. He went as far as to say that the partners are the best of everything.
Appearing during the project’s groundbreaking ceremony last week, Fenik said that he’s excited with what the future holds for the Town of Perth, especially after how everybody in the community seemed to look after one another with the planning of the project.
Indeed, the day was an exciting one for those in Perth.
Located along Rogers Road, the 20-unit project will cost $1.69 million to construct. But the best part is that 15 out of the 20 units will be specially designed for individuals and family members with special needs.
The project was made possible by the efforts of the federal and Ontario government, the Town of Perth, the Lanark County, and investors from the private sector. Designed by Perth architect Geoff Hodgins to be a structure that uses energy efficiently, the 2-story building is slated to be fully operational and ready for occupancy by mid-summer.
