The project is being developed by La Cooperative Le Bel Age. It will consist of a 14 unit apartment building which will be constructed in the Wellington area.

“Affordable housing is a concern for people in this area and I am very pleased to receive the support of the Community Development Bureau,” said Wilfred Arsenault, MLA for Evangeline-Miscouche. “This development will ensure that people – especially our seniors – will be able to afford to stay in this area if they wish to do so. It will be a great boost to a region that is strong in community spirit and identity,” he said.

The complex will include 8 single bedrooms apartments and 6 two bedroom units. All apartments will be barrier free and two of the 14 apartments will be fully accessible to residents with physical challenges.

Total cost of the project is $998,000. The Community Development Fund will contribute $60,000.
