New Housing Project Proposed for Ballentine Area?

Talk of a low-income housing project proposed for the Ballentine area is circulating through the community.

According to a post on the website of Rep. Nathan Ballentine, R-Richland, he said he received what appears to be a forwarded email from Richland County Councilman Bill Malinowski concerning low-income apartments proposed for land across from Ballentine Elementary School. 

The email reads that Wendover Housing Partners, LLC of Altamonte Springs, FL, made a request for low-income housing tax credits to construct 56 units on a little over 3 acres across from the school. Read more here.

Patch has contacted Malinowski and the SC State Housing Finance & Development Authority for comment and will update this post when more information is available. 

In the meantime, what do you think?

Is this the right area for this project? Are you for it or against it? Tell us in the comments.
