Local development organization to celebrate new affordable housing community
York City is set to host the grand opening of a new affordable housing community.
A ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate The Homes at Thackston Park II is scheduled for 2 p.m. Friday at 320 West College Avenue.
Creating Opportunities in Neighborhood Environments (CONE) partnered with the York Housing Authority (YHA) on the 50-unit affordable housing complex. Thackston Park II includes 17 buildings with two to six units per building. Varying in size, the units offer residents one-to-five-bedroom options as well as handicap accessible spaces. The housing resource features a neo-classic design, including brick exteriors and bay windows that are in line with the prevalent look of homes in the immediate area.
Community areas, off-street parking, and green spaces are additional amenities. The Homes at Thackston Park II are located across the street from the award-winning first phase of Thackston I, completing the street scape across the West College Avenue bridge along the Codorus Creek.
Demolition and construction for The Homes at Thackston Park II began in February 2022 and was completed by Harkins Builders based out of Columbia, Md.
Representatives from CONE and YHA, including YHA’s Executive Director Regina S. Mitchell, who serves as Secretary to the Board of CONE are scheduled to attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the grand opening.
