Housing Works is officially opening an affordable housing complex in Redmond. Midtown Place, a 12.4  million dollar project, is  a 47-unit apartment community on 5th Street. It’s the first affordable housing development in Central Oregon to include apartments for households earning up to 80% of the area median income. Plans started in 2018 to transform a vacant lot into workforce housing for downtown and medical district workers. The City of Redmond funded over 3 million dollars for the complex through an Urban Renewal Loan and Community Development Block Grants. The ground opening celebration takes place next Wednesday.
