Public Housing
We’ve been assessing storm damage at two Public Housing neighborhoods – Airport Gardens on Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. and the S. Estes Drive neighborhood.
We’ve determined that repairs are necessary in 37 units across both neighborhoods. This includes units which were evacuated Sunday night and units where damage was discovered during assessments.
We’re working to begin repairs next week. This work is displacing a total of 103 residents who live in the affected units. The Town is offering and coordinating temporary relocation at hotels for all affected residents until the repairs are complete. We expect repairs may take four to six weeks.
We know this is a major disruption for these community members and we are providing them a range of ongoing resources and support, including food and transportation.
