Renaissance Ridge has created a partnership with the Nelson County Community Development Foundation (NCCDF) to create more workforce housing in Nelson County as a part of the new development which plans to incorporate high-quality design, sustainable construction and community connectivity. With growing concerns over the lack of inventory and different housing types, this partnership intends to help fill in the “missing middle” gap.
Founded in 1985, NCCDF has been fostering and promoting community development that primarily benefits low- and moderate-income citizens of Nelson County with housing, health, water and wastewater, recreation, education, and economic development.
Executive Director and long-time resident of Nelson County, Margaret Clair says, “This project, in partnership with Renaissance Ridge, represents the largest opportunity for the Foundation in about 10 years. NCCDF, under the leadership of George Krieger, has completed a number of housing developments that have benefitted first-time homeowners and working families of modest means in Nelson. The pressure of the market on middle-income families is higher than ever right now. We are excited and grateful to be a part of it.”
Renaissance Ridge will also be working with other community partners, non-profits, and businesses across the area to promote more workforce housing for its community members.
