Work at West View Estates continues as another home is brought onsite.

An occupancy date of August has been targeted.
By ASHLEY HANKS

ith the recent $4.5

million investment
announcement from the
Provincial Government for
the Minnedosa Community Housing Association,
progress is clearly underway at West View Estates
located in the southwest
corner of Minnedosa.
Late last week, another phase of pre-fabricated
homes was moved into
the new affordable housing subdivision, located
between 6th and 7th Avenues, west of 4th Street
S.W. In total, there will be
15 homes with just under
half of them already delivered. The remainder of

the homes are expected to

be delivered to the site in
the coming weeks, wth all
15 expected to be in place
next month.
These family-style
bungalows will feature a
patio and treed yard and
will accommodate low to
moderate income families
with affordable housing.
Our intention is to
physically have all the
homes delivered by early
spring, stated Beth McDonald from Horizon
Builders. With about 50%
of the project completed
and the scheduling of the
delivery of the rest of the
homes from the manufacturer underway, these
homes could possibly be

ready for occupancy by the

end of the summer.
There have been numerous inquiries made
from people interested in
obtaining residency in the
new West View Estates.
The Town and Minnedosa Community Housing
Association
encourages
those people to watch for
further information on this
in the coming weeks.
Our goal is to have
the homes finishined and
landscaping done with a
completion date of middle
of August for occupancy,
McDonald said.
This project is a most
welcome addition to the
communitys housing situation.
