Plan for Senior Apartments Moves Forward
Authorities plan to redevelop a shopping center site into a senior living community.
The Pinellas County Housing Authority (PCHA) plans to break ground on a new 153-unit apartment complex for seniors this summer.
The proposed new Pinellas Heights senior community would be located off of Ulmerton Road near 113th Street and the Pinellas Trail at a shopping center site.
More than $17 million could be invested into the local economy through this project from 2012-2013, according to a news release.
