Housing Action Network Tours Agassiz Townhomes

The Housing Action Network, part of the Impact 20/20 initiative met in Crookston recently to check on the construction progress at the Agassiz Townhomes on North Broadway.  The Northwest Minnesota Foundation and Tri-Valley Opportunity Council hosted representatives from Bemidji, Fosston, Thief River Falls, Warren, Red Lake Falls, and Mahnomen.
Three of the buildings will be ready for occupancy at the end of the month. “The group was able to see we are progressing nicely on constructions and we still say we’ll have three building ready for by October 1,” said Tri-Valley CEO Jason Carlson. “The lease sign up is slow because we’re being a bit picky about making sure the household size is right for the units. If it’s more than one bedroom, we want to make sure it’s a family moving in.”
The group is also working on a multi-community housing initiative to reduce barriers to entry on new construction.  Crookston, Red Lake Falls and Warren are looking at new projects right now.  The townhomes will have an open house coming up in a few weeks.  Details on the open house will be released soon.
