“From the beginning of this project, I have been happy to lend my support,” said U.S. Representative Bill Foster, 11th Congressional District. “Making sure our seniors have access to affordable housing is so important to our community. Woodridge Horizon shows how much we value the seniors in our community.”

Woodridge Horizon, which is housed on three and a half acres, is one of several projects to reinvest along the Janes Ave. corridor.
