Habitat duplex project progresses with community volunteers
The Elkton Habitat for Humanity continues work on the Summit Avenue duplex with interior winter work planned for the second unit. Volunteers from Elkton Presbyterian Church and Dayton Presbyterian Church supported the effort, while owner Amanda Contreras received keys to the 211 W Summit Ave unit December 2. The project aims to offer affordable zero-interest mortgages to families at or below 60 percent of area median income, with subdivision enabling a second duplex on Fairfax Avenue on the adjacent lot.
