A ground-breaking took place on Thursday, Sep. 22, in the Near Northwest Neighborhood of South Bend for the construction of a four-unit apartment building that city leaders say will provide affordable housing to low-moderate income families.

The building will be constructed in the 800 block of Cushing Avenue.

Anybody interested in renting can stop into the Near Northwest Neighborhood office on Portage Avenue or go online to www.nearnorthwest.org.
