E. S. Housing Inc. unveils plans for over 1000 affordable housing units

Affordable housing took center stage at the recent Bernalillo County Commission meeting, with E.S. Housing Inc. expressing gratitude for the county's support in developing crucial housing projects. Commissioner Barbara Baca and Commissioner Fred Baca were specifically acknowledged for their roles in advancing these initiatives.

The highlight of the discussion was the announcement of several significant projects aimed at addressing the community's housing needs. Among them is a North Valley development featuring 61 affordable apartments, four live-work units, four retail spaces, and 21 townhomes. Additionally, the West Mesa Ridge project is set to provide 44 units, while a major South Valley project on Rio Bravo will deliver over 400 affordable units and 200 townhomes.

The speaker emphasized the collaborative efforts with county staff, particularly praising County Manager and Public Works for their responsiveness and support. With these developments, E.S. Housing Inc. anticipates having over a thousand housing units ready to serve the community, alongside opportunities for small businesses, including an aggregator facility for 74 small farms in the South Valley.

This commitment to building a community that meets local needs is seen as a vital step towards fostering a healthier environment for all residents. The speaker concluded with optimism, looking forward to celebrating the completion of these projects with ribbon-cutting ceremonies in the near future.
