Marietta and Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta (HNWMA) officials will hold a groundbreaking ceremony at 4:30 p.m. April 12 for the first residence being built as a part of the Marietta Public Service Housing Program at 37 Griggs St., Marietta.

In January, Marietta city officials presented a $500,000 check from its American Rescue Plan Act funds to Habitat for Humanity for the new program.

This first-time partnership will provide six zero-interest affordable residences for city of Marietta and Marietta City School employees.

Three of the six residences will be built this year, with a maximum sales price of $250,000 each.
