HURRICANE RECOVERY HEAD TO HELP DEDICATE AFFORDABLE RENTAL COMPLEX BUILT WITH STATE RELIEF FUNDS THURSDAY

RALEIGH - David Kelly, director of the North Carolina Redevelopment Center, which oversees the state's recovery from Hurricane Floyd, will help dedicate a new 48-unit affordable apartment complex constructed using state relief funds on Thursday, June 7 in Rocky Mount.

Dedication of the Carriage Court complex will take place at noon. Carriage Court Apartments is located at 4655 Sunset Avenue in Rocky Mount. The complex is at the corner of Sunset Avenue and Westry Road.

The Carriage Court development was built using $990,000 in state relief funds appropriated by the General Assembly in December 1999 as part of the Hurricane Floyd Relief Act. The funds are administered by the North Carolina Housing Finance Agency.

Episcopal Housing Ministry, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Raleigh, built the Carriage Court development.

As part of the recovery effort, $20 million in state funds have been dedicated to building affordable rental units for low- and moderate-income families in Eastern North Carolina.


Directions: From Raleigh, take US 64 east. After passing Nashville, look for the exit marked "Red Oak and Nash Community College." Exit right and turn right onto Old Carriage Road. Go approximately ½ mile (pass Nash Community College on your right) to the next intersection with a traffic light - Sunset Avenue. Turn left on Sunset Avenue, and go approximately 100 yards, turn right on Westry Road. The site is directly on the left. It fronts both Sunset Avenue and Westry Road.
