RHA proposes housing development off East State Street

Tuesday, May 19, 2015

ROCKFORD (WIFR) – Public housing could be on its way to Rockford’s east side after the Housing Authority closes on a piece of land just off of East State Street.
RHA bought a section of land on South New Towne Drive just across the street from the old post office which is the future home of the Police Department’s District 3 headquarters. The project ranges in cost between $14 and $18 million and would host somewhere between 50 and 70 units. Ward 14 Alderman Joe Chiarelli says there’s no support from neighbors and RHS CEO Ron Clewer says he’s disappointed with the community’s reaction.
