Thecommunity is invited to attend an Open House to discuss the proposed CountryHills Development project on Wednesday, July 25 from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. in theCouncil Chambers at Rolla City Hall (901 N. Elm Street in downtown Rolla.).  The County Hills development is asingle-family housing project, being proposed by the Springfield based developer,Housing Plus, LLC. The project consists of 34 single-family homes, withapproximately 1,350-square-feet of living space. The development has receivedbroad support in Rolla and was given a strong endorsement by the MissouriHousing Development Commission (MHDC), last year when the City first appliedfor funding through MHDC for this project. The Country Hills Development project isdesigned to fill a much-needed gap in available affordable single-family homesin Rolla. The project will serve families at or below 60% of Rolla’s medianincome as well as families needing affordable workforce housing in the 60% to80% median income bracket.Rolla does not have a project of this typetargeted to the single-family market made economically viable through the useof housing tax credits provided by MHDC,” said John Petersen, the City’sDirector of Community Development. “The proposed project is made even moreattractive because it comes with a path to home ownership for the residents andfocuses on working families’ housing needs.” For more information, please contact JohnPetersen, Director of Community Development, at 573-426-6970.
