Montgomery Celebrates Magnolia Trace Apartments Ribbon Cutting for Seniors Affordable Housing

Montgomery City Mayor announced a significant milestone in affordable housing during the Mayor's Message on July 15, 2025, highlighting the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new Magnolia Trace Apartments. This development, aimed at the 55 and older community, features 56 high-quality, affordable housing units equipped with amenities such as a clubhouse, fitness center, and gazebo.

"This project is not just about housing; it’s a celebration of dignity, security, and community for our seniors," the Mayor stated, emphasizing the importance of providing a safe place for older residents to age with pride. The initiative, backed by a $721,000 investment from the city and additional funding exceeding $14 million, is expected to create over 60 jobs and generate $5.5 million in local income.

The Mayor reiterated the administration's commitment to addressing the affordable housing crisis in Montgomery, particularly the "missing middle" demographic. He praised local developers for their efforts in expanding housing options throughout the city, ensuring that quality remains consistent regardless of income levels.

As the Mayor concluded, he expressed gratitude to all involved in the project, including the Alabama Housing Finance Authority, and hinted at future developments that will continue to enhance the community's housing landscape. The Magnolia Trace Apartments stand as a testament to purposeful partnerships and the city's dedication to improving the lives of its residents.
