Coventry Housing Authority To Add 34 New Units

Driving by the Coventry Housing Authority recently, you may have noticed the sprawling fence surrounding a dirt lot off of Washington Street. This will be the site of "Golden Ridge," a complex of 34 one-bedroom apartments expected to be finished by this summer, explained Paul Sprague, director of .

The endeavor will specifically house "low-income senior citizens while offering certain services," said Christine Slick, public housing manager. The application process for these units has not yet begun, however eligible candidates must be 58 years of age or older.

There will be a groundbreaking ceremony on Feb. 22 at 10 a.m. followed by a small reception at the Authority's Knotty Oak Village Community Hall.
