Open House on August 31 in Salinas Offers Community Input on Affordable Housing Development Design

 

The County of Monterey is partnering with the City of Salinas and Eden Housing to develop 132

affordable-rate apartments on a 5 acre parcel at 855 E. Laurel Drive (the corner of E. Laurel

Drive and Veterans Way). This project will serve low-income households, including

farmworkers and families.

Before the project gets off the ground, the community is invited to a workshop to learn more

about the proposed development and share ideas for the design, even help craft a name for the

project as well as the look, feel and function of spaces. The workshop is set for Thursday night, August 31 from 6 pm to 8 pm at Everett Alvarez High School.

The workshop will have a variety of information and input stations offering:

• Project information,

• Meeting the architects/developers and resident services teams

• Opportunity to give input on the project design, name and other features

• Sign up for project updates
