From WKYC 3 Studios:
A new apartment community boasting 120 affordable homes opened Thursday in Cleveland's Buckeye-Woodhill neighborhood.
Officials from the City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga Metropolitan Housing Authority (CMHA) attended the grand opening of Woodhill Station West. The building, once an empty lot across from the RTA Woodhill-Buckeye train station, features 42 one-bedroom, 62 two-bedroom and 16 three-bedroom apartments as well as 4,520 square feet of community space.
“The Woodhill community has experienced years of neglect and abandonment," Cleveland City Council President Blaine A. Griffin said in a news release. "With phase one completed, it’s the first concrete step of a project that will transform a neighborhood, a community. The impact on the neighborhood and the legacy residents cannot be overstated. Something special is happening here in the Woodhill community.”
The apartment building is the result of a partnership between the city, the CMHA and nonprofit The Community Builders. It is part of the first phase of the Buckeye-Woodhill Choice Neighborhoods Implementation, a government program funded in part by grants from the Department Housing and Urban Development.
