Housing Authority approves senior apartment project in Superior led by Paul and Jason

The City of Superior is poised to enhance its housing options with the proposed development of a new senior apartment complex, following a productive discussion during the Common Council meeting on January 15, 2013. The council is actively endorsing a tax credit application for the project, which aims to construct approximately 50 new units specifically designed for seniors.

Mayor and council members expressed strong support for the initiative, highlighting the collaboration with local developers who have a longstanding presence in the community. The developers, a family-owned company with real estate holdings in Superior since 1950, have been working closely with city officials for the past six months to identify a suitable location for the new apartments. The proposed site is located at the southeast corner of Thirteenth and Weeks Streets.

The project is not only expected to provide much-needed housing for seniors but also aims to revitalize the area by bringing properties back onto the tax rolls. The developers emphasized their commitment to mixed-use developments that cater to various demographics, including students and the elderly.

As part of the application process for tax credits, the city will demonstrate its support through a letter from the mayor and endorsements from economic development partners. This local backing is crucial for the project's success, as it showcases community interest and participation.

The council's endorsement of this project reflects a broader commitment to improving housing accessibility and fostering economic growth within Superior. As the developers move forward with their plans, the community can look forward to the positive impact this new senior housing complex will bring.
