Clark County will see new apartment complexes sprout up and existing properties spruced up this year thanks to an estimated $30 million construction and improvement plan launched by the Vancouver Housing Authority.
The housing authority will have two new developments under construction in 2011. Camas Ridge, which broke ground in August 2010, is slated for completion in midsummer. The $7.5 million project, located on Prune Hill in Camas, will provide 51 apartments, including some that will rent at market rates and others available to people earning 60 percent or less of the area’s median income.
The second development, Vista Court Apartments — which will serve senior citizens — is scheduled to begin construction this month. The estimated cost of the project is $16.1 million. The 76-unit complex, for people 65 years of age and older, will rise just north of the housing authority’s existing Van Vista Plaza apartments in downtown Vancouver.
Meanwhile, the housing authority also plans to make roughly $6.7 million in capital improvements to existing properties in 2011.
