North Adams housing project gets revised cost estimate
The 11 story 105 unit elderly housing project in North Adams is now estimated at 1.304 million dollars, up 224 thousand from last July due to an 8 percent rise in construction costs. The North Adams Housing Authority approved the new figure, set at 18 thousand dollars per unit, after the state lured bids down from the first estimate as too high. If new bids exceed 1.904 million, the state Department of Community Affairs may cancel the high rise plan.
