Lexington’s Commissioner of Housing Advocacy and Community Development says a $10 million state appropriation will benefit an affordable housing initiative in more ways than one. The money will support various affordable housing types on property that was once home to Transylvania baseball games. Charlie Lanter said the funding is not for house construction.
“So what that ten million will do is help to fund the infrastructure that’s gonna be needed on that site. You got to run sewer lines. You got to run water lines, curb and gutter, all that kind of stuff. So, that will help get the lots in place so it will be easier to develop that land,” said Lanter.
