They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Do the words affordable housing, rehabilitation and low-income conjure up an image of a brand new $25 million complex?
At the City of Oneonta’s Common Council meeting on Tuesday, April 1, Director of Strategic Partnerships Christine Nealon of Rehabilitation Support Services presented an architectural rendering of the development her organization is proposing to build at 27 Market Street should city officials approve sale of the property to RSS.
The building would include 47 apartment units, 30 parking spaces and 7,200 square feet reserved for commercial use.
“Supportive services are available to 12 units,” Nealon said.
Taking advantage of support services is voluntary, not mandatory, she added.
RSS provided those who attended with a detailed fact sheet along with an image of the proposed mixed-use building. Spring 2027 is the estimated date such a building could be operational.
