Grace Village To Expand

WINONA LAKE - Grace Village Retirement Community plans to add a wing of assisted-living apartments, and groundbreaking ceremonies were held for the addition Tuesday. Jeff Carroll, Grace Village chief executive officer, said the addition provides space where a person can come in and "age in place." The facility currently has 30 assisted-living apartment, and the addition means 26 more along Sunset Drive. The one-bedroom spaces are 500 square feet and offer a kitchenette, large closets and bay windows. Grace Village is a continuing care retirement community and has accommodations ranging from completely independent to those allowing full nursing care. "The addition allows older adults to live in a secure Christian environment," Carroll said. Robinson Construction received the contract for the project, which will be paid for through a bond issue backed by the town, not to exceed $4.5 million.

Housing Authority Elects Officers

During Monday's Warsaw Housing Authority meeting, an election of officers resulted as follows: Bob Kline, president; Sue Charlton, vice president; and Sherri Ruggier, secretary/treasurer. Officers are re-elected annually, but the resignation earlier this year of Bob Bullock required the board of directors to hold a special election.Bullock had been the board's president before he moved from the area. In other business, the board is looking into placing some of its funds in interest-bearing accounts, and the city attorney is developing a promissory note to be used for clients needing help with security deposits.The deposits would be loaned to the clients through a revolving loan program. Additionally, two more loans were closed in the owner-occupied rehabilitation program, bringing the total to three finished projects.Funds are still available for qualified low-income homeowners to improve their residences.For more information, call the WHA at 269-7641.
