On Wednesday, a ground-breaking ceremony took place to celebrate a start of an affordable housing project in Uptown Butte, Montana. After four years of hard work, construction has finally begun on the Roxanne Iron Way Condominiums. This project aims to provide affordable homes near the junction of West Iron and Montana Streets. The complex will have 12 units, three duplexes, and six single-family houses on a 1.7-acre area for $3.2 million.
This has been made possible through collaborations with different agencies. Agencies like Butte Superfund Advisory and Redevelopment Trust Authority, USDA Rural Development, and Habitat for Humanity of Southwest Montana helped secure the funds for this project. Families interested in these homes must show they can afford them and contribute to the construction work with the help of volunteers.
