No FHA loan jeopardizes Creston apartment plans
Crest View Construction Inc of Creston faces a stalled five acre North Marion Avenue project after new FHA guidelines. Des Moines consultant CM Fehn, speaking for Crest View, said the $1 million complex for 60 units, including 12 elderly and handicapped rentals, hinges on FHA 236 subsidy approval which is now unlikely. The land option expired in June and renewal remains unresolved, despite city council support.
