Current Work in Progress
March 2010. Construction for
Florence Habitat's 17th house, first in future 10 home Keener Place tract, is
scheduled to begin in mid-March. Groundbreaking ceremony was held on Saturday,
February 20th, for the Libby Rodriguez family home. The new four-bedroom
single-story home will be built at the north corner of the property at Nopal and
15th Streets. Future Habitat homes in the tract will be built along the newly
completed extension of Nopal Street. This tract property was obtained through a
land-swap with the city of Florence after several months of negotiations. The
city will gain a piece of property approximately the same size that Habitat
owned on the north side of
Ninth Street. Site development
was financed under a grant from the Meyer Memorial Fund.
Seventh and Laurel - We recently completed
construction of the three townhouses at 7th and Laurel. Go and take a look! We
are very proud of these two-story, three bedroom houses. There are no common
walls. The individual homeowners also own the land, as each townhouse sits on
its own city lot. There are two-car carports in the rear, opening onto a shared
driveway.
ReStore -- More and more people are learning about us, both as a place to donate reusable building materials and as a place to buy them. Florence Habitat ReStore is located behind Ron's Paint at 5701 Highway 101 just north of Fred Meyer. We are open the first weekend of every month, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, from 9:00am to 1:00pm. In the months of April through September we are also open the third weekend of the month. Please check the Calendar Section of this website for dates. For any further information please call the ReStore Manager, Bob Hawkins, at 541-997-9845, or the Habitat office at 541-902-9227.
