Construction is set to begin on a $15.9 million housing project in Oneonta, according to a news release this morning from Housing Visions Unlimited, Inc. , of Syracuse.
Oneonta Heights, a 60-unit affordable housing development for families and seniors, will support a neighborhood transformation plan developed by Housing Visions in partnership with the city of Oneonta and Opportunities for Otsego.
Construction will take up to 18 months, with an estimated project opening in August 2017, according to the releas.
Housing Visions Construction Co. (HVCC), an affiliate construction management company to Housing Visions Unlimited, Inc., will be the general contractor.
