The County of Huron's new 20 unit affordable housing development in Exeter should be ready for occupancy in late 2024.
Construction is wrapping up on the building on Sanders Street, which is an existing county housing site.
Funding was partially provided by the Canada-Ontario Community Housing Initiative.
JPM Architecture, formerly Allan Avis Architects, of Goderich ensured the plan prioritizes efficiency, durable and practical materials, and sustainability in new builds, as laid out in the county's High Performance Building Standard. The apartment building will feature multiple barrier-free units, including 5' turning radiuses, roll under sinks, pull-down shelves, and flush balcony thresholds
"Staff, alongside Council, have been working incredibly hard to secure funding, manage construction, and prepare this building for occupation," said Huron County Warden Glen McNeil. "I'm thrilled to see the progress that we're making to add more housing units and address the housing crisis locally."
