AUSTIN, Minn. – A new affordable housing project in Austin is closer to becoming a reality. The Austin city council tentatively approved earlier this month, Three Rivers Community Action’s proposal to develop a 40-unit building with underground parking and green space in downtown Austin targeting low to moderate income families, as well as those experiencing homelessness, and people with disabilities. The council is set to give its final approval on the $16 million project May 2nd. If funding is secured, construction would start in the summer of 2023 and leasing would begin in summer of 2024.
