$500K grant boosts new duplex project
New housing
Pictured is a duplex located in Griswold Terrace off Spring Street. The duplexes that will be constructed in Newtown will be similar to these, according to McMinnville Housing Authority executive director Patricia Basham.
A $500,000 state grant will allow McMinnville Housing Authority to jumpstart a project to construct new duplexes in the area of Nashville Highway and Spring Valley Road. Initial plans are to build four duplexes, eight total units, in Newtown. McMinnville Housing Authority executive director Patricia Basham says this type of housing is badly needed with right at 100 people currently on the waiting list for affordable housing.
