Allegheny Point is due to open by the end of the year
and there will apparently be plenty of people waiting
to move in.
Located adjacent to Soldiers and Sailors Park, Allegheny
Point will offer 20 one- and two-bedroom housing units
for persons 62 and older who meet income guidelines.
Susquehanna Valley Development Group, developer for
"Impact Warren," has been fielding questions
from prospective tenants and Paula Fornwalt said there
should be no problem filling the downtown housing units.
"Things are going pretty well," said Fornwalt.
Fornwalt said it is still not too late to file an application
for occupancy at Allegheny Point.
Susquehanna Development will handle the notification
of people who are accepted as Allegheny Point's first
tenants, Fornwalt said. For a single person, the maximum
allowable yearly income is set at $20,400.
For two people to qualify for a one- or two-bedroom
apartment at Allegheny Point, the combined household
annual income can be no more than $23,280 per year.
Those who do not meet the income guidelines may still
be eligible for units at a second downtown apartment
building on the eastern end of the same block. Liberty
Street-West will offer 18 to 24 market rate apartments
which will be open to anyone, regardless of age or income.
Rent at Alleghyeny Point will be adjusted to income
and will include all utilities except telephone and
cable television.
There will be a community room and the Warren Senior
Center will be located on the lawn level of the building
facing Breeze Point Landing. However, there will not
be meals or any level of medical care available at Allegheny
Point.
All apartments will be handicapped accessible and there
will be an on-site laundry and airlock security entrance
system. Both Allegheny Point and Liberty Street-West
will have street-level retail and commercial space.
