Congressman Andrews Announces New Jobs Through Gloucester Township Affordable Housing Project

HADDON HEIGHTS, N.J. – December 13, 2013 – (RealEstateRama) — Last Friday, Congressman Andrews announced that the Revere Run housing complex in Gloucester Township, a project that created over 375 construction, engineering, and architectural jobs, is now open and accepting tenants. With the assistance and support of Congressman Andrews, the project was able to secure over $15.6 million in federal affordable housing tax credits and Community Development Block Grants, which were critically needed to help finance the development.

Revere Run is a family community that consists of 6 new residential buildings, creating a total of 80 housing units that are outfitted with energy-efficient appliances and cost saving low-flow plumbing fixtures. It is located on Harbor Lane and is adjacent to the massive Gloucester Township Community Park and Camden County College, which is perfect for parents looking to continue their education. There is public transportation nearby, and it is located near Route 42 and the AC Expressway, providing easy vehicular transportation to points of interest for residents. In addition, residents have an onsite community room with a kitchenette, exercise room, community laundry room, and a computer lab.

“This project created over 375 jobs for people of many different professional backgrounds like legal, engineering, architectural, title and construction – all coming together to build something that will make a huge difference in the lives of so many families,” said Congressman Andrews. “I’m glad we were able to play a small part in making this a reality and making South Jersey a destination where families can live.”

Congressman Andrews has been a strong supporter of construction projects, like Revere Run, that create quality jobs and provide affordable housing for South Jersey’s hard-working families. In these difficult economic times, Congressman Andrews will continue the fight in Washington to make sure there is adequate funding for affordable housing so families in South Jersey can stay healthy, happy, and safe.
