City and County leaders are working to tackle the dire need for housing in the area.
At last night’s Plan Commission Meeting, Dubois County company Kerstiens Development Inc proposed a plan for an 11-acre development which includes the possible construction of a variety of new single-family homes, condominiums, and market rate apartments.
This proposed development follows on a $14.5 million project by Simplified Developments LLC to build more than 140 new apartment units on the east side of Washington.
The proposed Kerstiens Development Inc. project will also be located on the east side of Washington, near the I-69 interchange and across from the new True Rx office facility.
Kerstiens presented initial concepts and plans to the Plan Commission, noting that the final number of apartments, condominiums, and homes to be built will be finalized after the company receives initial approval of a rezoning request.
The single-family homes with lots will likely sell in the $225,000-$275,000 range, although no specifics have yet been completed. The project has received support from the Daviess County EDC and Washington Mayor Dave Rhoads.
Additional details for the project are expected to be released as plans are finalized.
