Housing authority says subdivision infrastructure is complete; names first phase Williams Estates
Summary
The Housing Authority reported the infrastructure for a new attainable subdivision is complete, the plat was recorded, and construction will begin. The authority said it has spent about $1.2 million on the project (including roughly $200,000 of its own funds) and has 14 prospective homebuyers ready; the first phase contains 22 lots.
Katie Miller, identified in the meeting as the Executive Director of the Housing Authority (as introduced by the judge), told fiscal court that the authority received $1 million from the fiscal court for infrastructure for a subdivision and that the infrastructure work is complete and the plat was recorded the day before the meeting.
Miller said the project has incurred about $1,200,000 in construction costs and that the authority invested roughly $200,000 of its own funds to complete the infrastructure. She reported about 14 individuals currently ready to proceed toward homeownership and said that construction will begin now that the plat has been recorded. Miller said the first phase will include 22 lots and that the subdivision will be named "Williams Estates" in honor of a community member referenced during the presentation.
Miller also said a phase 2 award had been made to "Warren County physical court" for an amount she referenced as over $4,000,000; she indicated the authority intends to begin phase 1 before proceeding to phase 2. Magistrates responded with encouragement, noting homeownership opportunities are important for generational transformation and thanking the housing authority for the progress.
No formal county ordinance or budget action was recorded on this item during the meeting; the remarks were a briefing on project status and next steps.
