CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA (CVILLE RIGHT NOW) – The Albemarle County Board of Supervisors continued their unanimous backing of the Premier Circle supportive housing project, voting 5-0 Wednesday to grant the developer a tax abatement as construction moves into its second phase.
Phase 1, which has already begun, is the construction of 80 units of supportive housing, designed to help people transition from being unhoused to moving back into the housing mark. The property will also have wrap-around services to help those residents get back on their feet.
